![]() gateway then passes the EffectiveUserName from Power BI to on-premises SSAS Tabular, and result of query will be returned based on the access of EffectiveUserName account to SSAS Tabular database and model.īy default EffectiveUserName is the username of logged in user to Power BI, or in other words EffectiveUserName is the Power BI account. However this account by itself isn’t enough for the data retrieval. Gateway account used for accessing Power BI cloud service to on-premises SSAS Tabular. In the Security setting add the user to administrators list. You can set administrator for SSAS Tabular with right clicking on SSAS Tabular instance in SSMS, and in Properties window, the domain user should be an administrator in SSAS Tabular.Note that the user account that you are using here should meet these conditions: The domain name that I use is BIRADACAD (my SSAS Tabular domain), and the user is PBIgateway, which is a user of BIRADACAD domain (username: BIRADACAD\PBIgateway), and is an administrator for SSAS Tabular (explained in next few paragraphs). You should see a successful message after clicking on Apply. then I use Windows authentication with my domain user \username and the password. I named this data source as AW Internet Sales Tabular Model 2014, I enter my server name, and database name. If you don’t have this database, follow instruction in prerequisite section.įor creating a data source, click on Add Data Source in manage gateways window (you have to select the right gateway first) Before going through this step I have installed AW Internet Sales Tabular Model 2014 on my SSAS Tabular, and want to connect to it. For this example we are building a data source for SQL Server Analysis Tabular on premises. each source can be a SQL Server database, Analysis Services database and etc. That is absolutely right, however you still need to add a data source under that gateway per each source. You might think that one gateway is enough for connecting to all data sources in a domain. My gateway here is named BIRADACAD, and I can see that it is successfully connected. In Gateway management window, you can see all gateways you have set up. Or alternatively you can directly go to Power BI website, after login go to setting menu option and choose Manage Gateways If you see green checkbox and Connected means your configuration was successful.Īs you can see after successful configuration, you can close the gateway (don’t worry it is running behind the scene as a service), and add a data source to this gateway in Power BI Service. Sign in to your Power BI account Īfter sign in, configure the Power BI Gateway with a name, and key, and then you should be good to go. Installation of Enterprise Gateway is just following a wizard, so continue that till end of the wizard where it asks for Power BI login. Then from gateways download page, choose Enterprise gateway, and download it. You can download latest version of Enterprise Gateway from website under downloads For this example we will be using Enterprise Gateway because we want to connect to SSAS Tabular on-premises through a Live/DirectQuery connection. In general Enterprise is built for more live connections specially to Analysis Services, and Personal is more for importing data from many data sources. There are more differences which I will talk in different post. Personal doesn’t mean you have to install gateway on your laptop only, and Enterprise doesn’t mean only for organizations. Naming of these gateways are a bit misleading. There are two types of gateways Enterprise, and Personal. Purpose of gateways in Power BI is to create connection from Power BI cloud service to on-premises data sources. You also need to have SSAS Tabular database example AW Internet Sales Tabular Model 2014 from here. In a separate post I’ll explain how to create such demo VM. Prerequisiteįor this demo I will be using my demo machine which has SSAS Tabular and Enterprise Gateway. If you are interested to learn more about Power BI, read Power BI online book from Rookie to Rock Star. If you like to learn more about that method read this blog post. Note that this method is different from defining Row Level Security in Power BI Desktop. Viewing the result filtered by RLS in Power BI.Row Level Security Configuration in SSAS Tabular.Power BI Live Connect to SSAS Tabular through Enterprise Gateway.In this post I’ll show you an end-to-end solution which contains elements below So it would be much better to use Row Level Security defined in Tabular from Power BI, rather than duplicating that in Power BI. ![]() SSAS Tabular allows you to create same type of Row Level Security. You can define Row Level Security in Power BI itself, However sometimes you do use SQL Server Analysis Services Tabular as the source for Power BI through Live or DirectQuery connection.
