Power BI gateway is a piece of software that runs on an Azure VM and is used as a management software for controlling access to various data sources, and enables teams to publish and refresh reports that they develop. The IT Analytics team is implementing the Power BI gateways as part of an enterprise-wide solution, that departments and non-Analytics IT teams can use this software as a service, instead of having to invest in setting up their own infrastructure.
If your department/team is interested in having a gateway set up, please follow these directions:
Request IT-Security to set up a service account to each data source (like Banner PROD, DWHOUSE, FAST, GEMS etc.)
Once the account is created and you have the user name and password, please submit a Jira HELP ticket to the Analytics team (Service Team: Analytics), which we will then prioritize and contact the respective department/team to set up a meeting and set up the gateway.
During the meeting while the gateway is being set up, you will be required to enter the password for each data source.
We will set up a couple of people from the department as the admins of the gateway, and going forward the admins can add members from their team as report developers.
