Client database connection

[Gabriel_Walkman]

Hi yall!

We have postgresql databases and a gateway set up that we use with most of our clients. I make pbi files, publish 'em under our own organization, add credentials to a gateway, and then plug the said credentials to the dataset just published. Viewing rights are then distributed to external clients. But...

One client wants to edit the pbi file themselves, and they want to publish it to their own organizations workspace. Do they just need their own gateway installed, and that can then be connected to our db?

Thanks in advance,
Gabe

Hi @Gabriel_Walkman ,

You can add your client to your workspace, and then he connects to the dataset in the workspace in Power BI Desktop to create a report. Your client does not need to configure the gateway separately.
