Power BI gateway doubt
Yes you need to add them here so they map their semantic models to this data source when they publish and yes, using security group is a valid option to lower manual effort in the fabric tenant. We use that approach for our customers.
thank you for the reply.
To clarify – when I mentioned “Power BI server,” I was referring to the On-premises Data Gateway, not Power BI Report Server.
For our tenant migration to Tenant B, we have:
a. Created a new dedicated VM
b. Installed a new On-premises Data Gateway on that VM
c. Configured the required Oracle and SQL Server data sources
d. This gateway is registered under the new tenant (Tenant B)
Since gateways cannot be migrated across tenants, we rebuilt everything from scratch on the new VM, including data sources and user access.
Please let me know if this clarifies the setup.
My question was:
If we have 5 users who publish/use reports with the Oracle data source through this gateway, do all 5 users need to be added under the Gateway → “Manage Users” section?
Should we add them here i.,e by
Adding them individually under “Manage Users”, or
Adding a security group that contains these users.
Please confirm if this is correct for our setup.
