Hi! I've read a whole lot of documentation detailing the On-premises Data Gateway but I'm not sure that I understand a fundamental aspect of how the service works. I only need a quick confirmation or correction if necessary.
To set up and deploy a Gateway:
1.) Install the gateway on a server or machine that is always on;
2.) Check connections for the Gateway under Power BI service to make sure it exists;
3.) Add data sources in the Gateway where the Gateway was installed;
4.) Add users to the user list so that they can access reports;
Now:
1.) I assume that each user does NOT need to install a gateway on their machine. They simply need to log into their PowerBI account and view reports. Is that correct? The Gateway is just that - a gateway that acts a bridge to the data source, as described in the documentation.
2.) Do users connect to the actual data source on-premise or do I need to publish the report to my PowerBI site and users connect to the data in the cloud?
That's it for now. I have folks on my end saying "it's the cloud it's the cloud it's the cloud womp womp" so I want to see how this exactly works in order to explain it correctly. Thanks in advance!
