hi Freedom 

You can only have one Personal mode gateway running for each Power BI account. If you install another Personal mode gateway for the same account, even on a different computer, the most recent installation replaces the existing previous installation. For On-Premise gateway,  you can install multiple On-premises data gateways on different computers, and manage them all from the same Power BI gateway management interface.

    Hi, perhaps I need to rephrase the question...

    Are we limited to one personal gateway, per Workspace, per user?

    When two different users publish from two different personal gateways onto same workspace to update, I do not see 2nd gateway registered on the Gateway options under Settings.

    We would like to transition a report to be managed from a different personal gateway.

    Hope this explains a bit better and thanks for looking into this.

      Hi there

      As far as I know this is possible with the On-Prem Gateway but not with the personal gateway.
