On-Premises Gateway problem
Hi,
I downloaded the gateway premesis and isntalled it with selecting On-Premises as the option. I hit the configure button and entered the name and recovery key.
After that i go to PowerBI Service to manage gateways and it gives me error showing "You Don't have any data gateways"
WhatI'm I doing wrong.
Hi drallam,
Do you mean IT team entered their credentials rather than your account to configure the On-Premises Gateway? If so, that is why you cannot connect to the gateway in Power BI service logged in with your account. You should make sure the account configured in gateway is the same one you used to log into service.
If you need to install On-Premises Gateway (Personal mode), you should supply the windows user name and password that the windows service will run as.
Reference: On-premises data gateway
Best regards,

drallam Is the machine you installed the gateway on part of the same domain as the account you logged into the Service with? Did you use your credentials to set up the gateway?
Yes, it's the same domain.
So, to install the .exe file our IT team needs to enter the credentials. They remote in and enter it. So i think its probably installing it on their local App data not mine.
drallam They would need to log in to the Power BI Service and add you as an administrator on the gateway. Wheel icon -> Manage Gateways -> Administrators in order for you to add data sources and manage the gateway
