Scenario: A gateway needs to be configured with Data source connection using a service account with read permissions to all Data. ( SAP BW).
Developers will use their own credentials [ which has restricted access] to connec to Data source in their PBI Desktop and later will use above GW to auto refresh the data.
Question: Apart from the developers limited permissions that his id has in BW, will gateway configuration grant him more access? [ since the gateway will be conected to data source using an account with higher permissions]
Any response on this is highly appreaciated
