Gateway with Service Account

Hi guys, 

 

Can anybody advise how to change our current gateway from a local email account to our sql server account? Does this need to be an email address and does it need to have a power bi licence? 

 

I have tried using the username and password for windows and basic authentication but none seem to work

 

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

"Can anybody advise how to change our current gateway from a local email account to our sql server account? "

This seems impossible. The gateway account needs to be an email address, but the Power BI license is not necessary.
