Configurating Power BI Data Gateways

Bridge your on-premises data to the cloud with confidence. In Configurating Power BI Data Gateways, Justin Vogel shows you how gateways enable the Power BI Service to securely access data that lives behind your firewall or in private networks. You’ll learn when to use Standard vs. Personal mode, what prerequisites and permissions are required, and how to plan a clean installation—covering service accounts, regions, and basic network considerations like proxies and ports. Step by step, you’ll install a gateway, register it to your tenant, and connect common sources so reports refresh reliably. Once you’re up and running, the course turns to day-to-day management and best practices. Justin walks through configuring data sources in the Power BI Service, mapping credentials, and choosing between scheduled refresh and DirectQuery/Live scenarios. You’ll explore high availability with gateway clusters, tips for performance, and practical troubleshooting using logs and diagnostics. The course wraps with governance and security guidance—least-privilege access, ownership models, and change management—so you can keep your organization’s gateways stable, secure, and easy to maintain.
