Types of gateways

There are two different types of gateways, each for a different scenario:

On-premises data gateway allows multiple users to connect to multiple on-premises data sources. You can use an on-premises data gateway with all supported services, with a single gateway installation. This gateway is well-suited to complex scenarios with multiple people accessing multiple data sources.
On-premises data gateway (personal mode) allows one user to connect to sources, and can’t be shared with others. An on-premises data gateway (personal mode) can be used only with Power BI. This gateway is well-suited to scenarios where you’re the only person who creates reports, and you don't need to share any data sources with others.

There are four main steps for using a gateway.

→ Download and install the gateway on a local computer.

→ Configure the gateway based on your firewall and other network requirements.

→ Add gateway admins who can also manage and administer other networks

→ Use the gateway to refresh an on-premises data source.

Troubleshoot the gateway in case of errors.
