Power BI Active Directory connection

[EraDon]

Hi,

 I have connected AD to the Power BI desktop to import all users and computer details but I cannot get data from the on-premises gateway. Could someone give a guide or documentation on how to set up the gateway for AD connection?

When I try to connect using gateway manager, throws an error with an incorrect credential. I am not sure do we need to have a special AD account with some permission to get data through the gateway. 

On desktop connection, I use my domain account and there is no issue importing the data.

Kind Regards

Hi @EraDon ,

Did you try to add AD as a data source to the gateway?

You may refer to Power BI Data Gateway with Active Directory

Hi Caitlyn,

 I can see you have the Azure Active Directory set up in the gateway. But I used normal on-premises AD.

Do I need to use Azure AD for the gateway? 

Secondly, you use the powerbi user account to connect. does it have special permission? I used my credential and I have the right to view and add computers and users to AD.

Other than that, I followed the same steps.

Kind Regards
