Report Server Licence in a Production environment
Hey, I'm currently new to the BI community and am working on implementing a PBI report server solution for an organization. My question is pertaining to licences. We will be installing PBI RS to a VM in Production environment, since that's where the DB access is. However, we (obviously) do not have the permission to open Internet accesses in this environment due to security and practical reasons, which might make it difficult for me to log in to my MS ID. My question is: is it possible for me to install PBI RS on my physical machine (to log in) and open a gateway which allows me to work on the VM so that I can access the data?
Best practice when accessing production DB
Hello Community! I have recently faced a challange and I'm hoping someone in this amazing community has a work around for it. My organization just adopted a new security rule where you can't access production data from PowerBI desktop. You'll have to access the database using a jump server and do everything there then upload your report to powerbi report server. Obviously this is very complicated. Is this common practice? This is the first time I'm facing such problem and I can't get my head around it. Facts: - the account I use has a read-only authorization - the database is hosted on prem. not cloud. - we use PowerBI report server desktop application for modeling and design then upload it to the server. is there any work around that I can propose to the security team? Any ideas are very much appreciated!
