Helper IDeployment from one environment to another environment
Super UserHi anoopcse
In terms of your request I can give you what I would do if it was me.
- Firstly you can only deploy and work in one Office 365 tenant at a time. So I would log into and deploy into the clients Power BI Tenant
- NOTE: You do not have to have Office 365 to user Power BI. On sign up it will create the requirements for Power BI and behind the scenes it will create the Azure Active Directory required to authenticate the users.
- If you have a source database somewhere else you can then use the On-Premise Gateway to connect the data. It will have to be connected to the customers Power BI Tenant.

Helper IThanks GilbertQ,
But note that I don't have an email id with the clients domain. How is it possible to do the deployment as the client user ? This will work only if we got a domain account with the client. This can work if I login as with one of the client provided email id. I feel this a bit odd, when it comes to enterprise deployment. Most of the tools has got an admin who is capable of doing this.
Cheers,
Anoop

Hi anoopcse,
As far as I understand each Office 365 Tenant which includes the Azure Active Directory is effectively like a seperate Active Directory. So I am sure that where there are businesses that have multiple Active Directories this can be configured for multiple Azure Active Directories.
But the above applies where it is all under one major entity.If you are external to this entity, as with standard practise you would always have to have a domain login to gain access.
