Data Conections on Power BI Service
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.
Ask your security guys to establish comminucation between your gateway vm and your source(s).
It should´t take too much time to create a network (firewall) rule to allow this way of communication.
The files stay in local disc c of the users, so the server don't have access
Hey KarineCruz ,
This sounds like this is not a very dynamic or effective data policy. If you have mutliple folks trying to write reports they can be on their own machines. However, if you are trying to do Enterprise reporting, you need for the data to be in centralized locations where a gateway can access it so that you can use the Service.
If you don't want the Gateway or Data Sources to be part of it, you can always just share the .pbix file with all the other developers and share the data source files as well. This is not a good policy and is rife with security and data corruption issues but will work if everything has to stay local.
This is the real problem. We have a Data Wharehouse but many peoples create reports with excel datas for example.
