Hi Marang,

 

As far as I know, there are no limitations of the number of App workspace and the number of data gateway. It's possible. There are something you should consider. (And something I don't recall for now).

1. The security issues. (Not from Power BI) It's a big challenge to manage many data sources and many Desktop files. 

2. All the customers seem from a single company. They would have similar account.

3. The performance. 

 

Best Regards,

Dale

    Hi v-jiascu-msft or any other experts who have knowledge on this topic (supplying Power BI Pro to multiple customers).  If the above solution is not ideal, what would you suggest for a solution like this where there is an intermediate company which builds and supports the BI reporting for many customers?  

     

    Would it be better to sign each customer up individually to separate Power BI Pro environments with their own Active Directories?  How would the managing company access and maintain these environments?

     

    Any other suggestions?  

     

    Cheers
