PowerBI Service DirectQuery with Azure SQL server database

Hello All,

 

I recently started working on PowerBI for an assignment.  I have a question with respect to Access to Azure SQL database from PowerBI service.

 

I have a requirement to make aceess to Azure SQL server database only to PowerBI service and not from any other internet sources. As I read in the documentation, we can implement this by using the  database firewall rules based on IP ranges. But my issue is that, how do I Know the PowerBI IP address ranges.

 

Please also let me know, if any alternative approach can be used to implement this.

Hi @mail2vajram,

 

Since Power BI Service is one kind of Azure Services, we can allow the access to Azure with one simple configuration. Please refer to sql-database/sql-database-vnet-service-endpoint-rule-overview#benefits-of-a-virtual-network-rule.
