Temporarily adding a connection to a new tenant to an existing server and gateway

[wegemmell]

Greetings, Community. 

Question related to having multiple tenant connections to a single server. Right now, we are in the middle of transitioning a portion of an organization to a new company/365 tenant, which temproarily requires having two separate 365 tenants connected to the same data source. Is it possible for a single gateway to support a connection to dataflows/models in two separate tenants, or what is the best practice for supporting such a situation? 

As always, thank you in advance.

I've worked out what I believe is a solution to this. Using dataflows in tenant A, I can cross connect via global permissions to those dataflows within tenant B.

To add to this, can you have multiple gateways on the same source if they are tied to different accounts/tenants?

Thank you

Hi @wegemmell 

I think you might encounter a limitation

But technically it is possible to use one Gateway for 2 tenants

Hi, @aj1973 

Thank you for this information. I know it's not possible to have multiple gateways tied to the same tenant on the same server, but what about multiple gateways with different tenant logins, do you know?

Thank you
