How to register Power BI Gateway with a Service Principal?

Hi,

New to the topic. We have installed a On Premsis Gateway and for testing registerd it with an work account (with an email of course).

My question is, is it possible to register Gateway againt a Service Principal or it can only be registered with an account which has an email?

Thanks in advance.

See this link - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/datagateway.profile/connect-datagatewayserviceac...

 

This link indicates it is possible to use an Azure AD Service Principal to deploy On-Premises Gateway

Thanks SwayamSinha for your prompt reply.

Is there a link to MS Docs which confirms this? And is there a reason why its not possible?

I read some other posts which describes that it is possible to add SPN as admin but from Power BI Portal.

It is not possible to register Gateway using SPN, but you can use a service account or a user ID
