    Ghislain The OPD Gateway is a managed gateway. You must create the specific data sources and assign permissions to people who are able to use the data source (thus, Shared).

    The Personal Gateway is tied directly to the user account only.

    Also, the OPD Gateway supports additional connection types and data sources that the personal gateway does not.

Ghislain When you create the data source, there is a tab to add users to the data source. Those people can publish reports using the OPD gateway as the refreshing gateway.

The end user does not come into the mix at all here, this only matters for the report author who needs to schedule refresh of the data or hook up a data source so Direct Query or Live connections work.
