Power BI gateway doubt
- 8 months ago
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.
Yes, every user (or a group containing them) must be added under the Gateway - Manage Users for each datasource.
Rebuilding the gateway in Tenant B means Power BI treats it as brand-new, so no access permissions come across from Tenant A. Even if the datasource configuration is identical, users are NOT automatically authorized to use it.
Add a Security Group
This is the clean, scalable, no-nonsense approach.
You add one Azure AD group to the datasource, put those 5 users inside the group, and you're done.
If people join/leave later, you manage only the group — not the gateway.
