Thanks blynn for good advice.
This worked. Until now I was not aware of "Data Source Users" . Now when I take a look, all datasources have old gateway admins as users but not those new ones. Maybe that is what changed? After some service update, new admins are not added to datasource users by default?
Anyway, thank you.

I don't know. It would seem to me, if they are Gateways Admins, they could use any data sources. Its like MS added a nother layer of security, but if thats the case, they shouldn't be separated. If they can publish reports to the workspace and the reports use current data sources, they should get permission to data sources. Maybe there are cases where they are an admin, but they can't access Financial info, but other info.
The easiest method would be if they are added as an admin, alteast a notification they will need to be individually given access to the data.
Thank you Lydia. I have two followup questions
1. Can't I create the dashboard in Power BI dashboard itself? Should I have to create the dashboard only in Power BI Service?
2. I have to access this server which stores this database remotely. Is it still possible to use the OBDC connector if the server has to be accessed remotely?

I am new to using Power BI Embedded.
I have been working on developing dashboards that will be promoted to a portal. In the desktop version, I successfully have applied a custom color scheme using a custom JSON File. They look great locally.
When I publish the report to "My workspace" and then look at Report online, the colors look fine.
When I share the embedded code with the developers who are working on the portal, the colors "Stick" for some items, and then default back to the standard Power BI colors for others.
What am I doing wrong?
Same issue. Anyone find a solution without using IWA?
Hi, did you solve the problem? Becasue I encountered the same problem,
Do you connect to Dynamics 365(online) or Dynamics 365(on-premises) in your Power BI report? Does your report only contain Dynamics 365 data source? If you connect to online dynamics 365 and want to set schedule refresh for your dataset in Power BI Service, no gateway is required.
If you connect to Dynamics 365(on-premises) , please use OData option when adding data source within gateway.

Do you use 32 bit or 64 bit Power BI Desktop? How do you build the basic table in Power BI Desktop? Do you take merge/append operations in Query Editor?

Do you import required certificate to the Trusted Room Certificate in the Power BI Desktop machine? There is a similar thread for your reference.

The same problem here. I have noticed yesterday and problem still persists today. I am running the latest version of Power BI Desktop. I have tried September 2017 version of PBI Desktop and the same result. So I guess it is not a problem of the last PBI Desktop update.
Does anyone have any clue please?
I am unable to reproduce this issue. Do you use Power BI Desktop August release? Could you please share the JSON file so that I can test?

I have found that if you publish the report to the Power BI web app, and refresh the data in the web app you get a different result in Azure AD:
Each line in this log relates to a different activity:
Microsoft Power BI - logging into the Desktop application (not refreshing data, just logging in to the application)
Microsoft Power Query for Excel - this authentication attempt is triggered (and fails) every time you try to refresh data in the report by connecting to the O365 mailbox
Power BI Data Refresh - this authentication attempt occurs when you refresh the dataset in the Power BI web app. This shows as successful in Azure AD, and successful in the Power BI web app but the data isn't actually updated!
So this seems to be specific to the 'Microsoft Power Query for Excel' app. I'm surprised there aren't more people experiencing this issue.
I have pasted the error from Azure AD associated with the authentication failure, but here it is for completeness:
The application required resource access list does not contain applications discoverable by the resource or The client application has requested access to resource, which was not specified in its required resource access list or Graph service returned bad request or resource not found. If the application supports SAML, you may have configured the application with the wrong Identifier (Entity). Try out the resolution listed for SAML using the link below: https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/application-sign-in-problem-federated-sso-gallery?/?WT.mc_id=DMC_AAD_Manage_Apps_Troubleshooting_Nav#no-resource-in-requiredresourceaccess-list.
Azure AD error code 65005.
Hi
I connect to DYN365 online and data from personal spreadsheet. However, the data from personal spreadsheet does not need to be refreshed. So I can the powerBI only connect to DYN365 online.
My refresh tab in power bi website is greyed out. That is why I think I need to setup the gateway. If you connect to DYN365 online only, should I expect to use 'refresh' function instantly?
Thanks,
Ricky
Do you take merge/append operation between D365 table and Excel table? If so, please install personal mode gateway and use it to refresh your dataset.
If you don't have merge/append queries, you can enable "Allow user's cloud data sources to refresh through this gateway cluster" option as described in this article and use on-premises gateway to refresh the dataset.

Dashboard only exists in Power BI Service. It is not possible to directly connect to ODBC data source in Power BI Service.
In addition, you can create ODBC dsn in the Power BI Desktop machine, and then use the ODBC connector in Power BI Desktop to connect to the dsn. Just make sure that you are able to access the remote database when creating ODBC dsn in the Desktop machine.

Lydia
I am unable to reproduce this issue. Do you click "Refresh Preview " in Power BI Desktop?
Also please check if you can connect to the Excel file using Web connector in Power BI Desktop. The URL is like below.

Hi
I have tried that method in the past but it seems the gateway connection has problem. it does not give out a good error message though. There is something wrong but not sure what went wrong.
Thanks,
Ricky
Yes. This is a Windows authentication issue in SQL Server. You would need to create trust relation between two domains to make Windows login work.

The problem is solved, updating with all pending KBs of office
Hi Frelis,
Thanks for posting. Please can you be more specific? Do you mean that there is a particular KB that should be installed toresolve this issue?
