What is a Gateway recovery key?

Hi @gb12 

 

A Power BI Gateway recovery key is a key that can be used to recover access to data in a Power BI service when the gateway administrator is no longer able to access the gateway or if the gateway is deleted. The recovery key is generated when you install a Power BI Gateway, and it should be saved in a secure location.

The recovery key is used to recreate the connection between the Power BI service and the on-premises data sources that were previously connected to the gateway. By using the recovery key, you can ensure that your reports and dashboards continue to work, even if the original gateway administrator is no longer available.

It's important to keep the recovery key safe and secure, as anyone with access to the recovery key can recreate the connection to the data sources and access the data. It's recommended to store the recovery key in a secure location, such as a password-protected digital file or in a secure physical location.
