How do I manage regional data gateways?
- 5 months ago
Hi ComputerHabit ,
Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.
For Power BI, gateways are tied to the tenant region, so a gateway created in another region will not be visible or usable there.
For Power Apps, gateways are tied to the environment and its region. As long as the environment and gateway are in the same region, you can use it.
Regarding your question on managing connections, this is done at the environment level. You would need to switch to the environment where the gateway exists. From there you can create and manage data sources, assign users, and remove them if needed. These actions are not done globally and will not show up outside that environment.
On licensing, you do not need anything specific just to view the gateway. However, creating and using connections can require appropriate Power Apps licensing depending on the connector you are using, especially for premium connectors.
So in short, yes, management is per environment, and it needs to be done in the same region as the gateway.
Hope this helps. Please reach out for further assistance.
Thank you.
The gateway and Power BI tenant definitely need to be in the same region.

You referenced PowerBI.
I can't see the gateway in Power BI. I see no way to use it.
