Data Conections on Power BI Service
Super UserHI KarineCruz ,
When you publish a report to the service it uploads the data model, including the dataset (now called Semantic Model). Part of the model is every connection that the report is using. And, this means that the data connection is automatically added if it doesn't already exist.
One way around this to add so many is to create the data connections that you want folks to use and then share that connection with those users. That will keep from redundant data connections but with different names from being added.
I do not believe that there is a way to turn this off as this is fundamental piece of the data model and the ability of the report to render.
Hello, Collinq! Thanks for your answer. The problem is that the gateway is centralized on a single server and the server don't have access on the file paths and is not possible configure that data conections.
