    1. Create the Service Account in Azure AD

    2. Go here and register the service account as a gateway installer: Power Platform admin center (microsoft.com)

    3. Download the gateway and install it using the Service Account

    4. Register your data sources, etc.

     

    This topic is actually covered pretty well in Mastering Power BI 2nd Edition. You will also most likely want to add this Service Account as a Administrator in all the different workspaces.
