    Hi there

    What happens when a user has the contributor role and they also have been assigned as a user on the Gateway under the specific data source?

    Hello!

    We ran the test. If we have users as Contributors and also listed as Users at DataSource level, it doesn't allow them to select the corresponding datasource in the gateway. 

    They need to be assigned to the Member role to make it, but this is something we don't want as this would give them access nearly as an admin.

      Hi Anonymous ，

       

      How about creating a gateway cluster?And add them to be the users of the primary gateway.

        thanks v-kelly-msft 

        It finally worked well as GilbertQ had mentioned (Contributor at Workspace level and adding the user at Datasource level). We did not know why it had not worked when we tested this a couple of days ago...anyway, it's working as expected. Thank you both!
