Solved: External Users - share on-prem gateway data source

benmc · ‎02-13-2018

Hi PBI Community,

I have a working on-prem data gateway established, with a SQL data source

This data source has an external user added.

I am attempting to allow the external user (to my tenancy) to use the data source defined on this gateway within their tenancy.

Is this possible?

thankyou for your time

Ben

@benmc,

Currently, it is not possible to directly add external users to gateway data source.

As a workaround, consider to create accounts for external users in your domain in the admin center of Office 365, then add the users to gateway data source.

Regards,
Lydia

Hi guys - is this still not possible in 2023 to share the data sources from an on-premises data gateway with external users/tenants? 🙂
