Some thoughts/clarifications about the Power BI / Data Gateway (personal mode)

In the last time a customer has installed the Data Gateway in the personal mode and he was very confused about:

• The managing at the powerbi.com Portal
• … and the direct query / live connection possibilities

So, here some clarifications about the Gateway in the personal mode:

1. You don’t see the Gateway under Data Gateways at the powerbi.com portal!
   You can manage the connection and the credentials in the dataset from a report in den schedule refresh properties. The gateway is only at the enterprise mode to manage!
2. Direct Query is not possible! You can only do a refresh for the import mode.
