Hey guys, desperately need some insight here.
So I'm on the BI team and we use AWS Postgres and Redshift in a private subnet along with a random BI tool. We want to move to PowerBI because it pretty much fits the uses cases of the organization. Most of us use a Mac and all of us are on the Pro trial right now btw.
I tried somethings to get PowerBI running and ended up running EC2 with PowerBI desktop in it within the same subnet so now all the data sources are connected and the team can remote desktop in there and start the BI journey.
This was what I had in mind.
1. Create report on PowerBI Desktop
2. Export PBIX file of the report
3. Import PBIX file on PowerBI Web
4. Share report to a group of people
5. Those groups of people can access the reports via the PowerBI Web
6. The report will be updated whenever people use the reports since it's on Direct Query
But now I've hit a wall, I did all that but I now need to set up a gateway to apparently schedule refreshes?
Before I continue my efforts on setting this up (it has been hell lol), I want to know if I'm on the right track and that it is actually possible to achieve those steps? Essentially I want to be able to share whatever reports/etc we build on the PowerBI Desktop to be viewed by users in the organization using PowerBI Web. Anything I can be doing better?
And creating these App groups are not as straightforward either, after creating the groups I can't seem to share the PBIX file to a particular App Group. Do you guys have any recommended resources on how to get this done properly?
Also any of you on AWS running PowerBI?
