Use virtual network data gateway and data sources in Power BI

Virtual network data gateways allow import or direct query semantic models to connect to data services within an Azure virtual network without the need of an on-premises data gateway.

Note

Virtual network data gateways is available for Power BI only in Premium workspaces. It is not available for EM and A SKUs. The feature is available for all Fabric workspaces.

Manage Virtual network data gateways

You can manage admins for a virtual network data gateway like you do for standard data gateways either in the Power Platform admin center or on the Manage gateways page in Power BI.

Manage data sources

You can also create data sources and share these data sources to users like you do today for data sources created on the standard data gateway.

Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on for Direct Query

When a user interacts with a DirectQuery report in the Power BI Service, each cross-filter, slice, sort, and report editing operation can result in queries that execute live against the underlying Azure virtual network data source. When you configure single sign-on (SSO) for an applicable data source, queries execute under the Microsoft Entra ID identity of the user that interacts with Power BI.

To enable Microsoft Entra ID SSO, on the Manage Gateways page in Power BI, go to the Data source settings page, and select the Use SSO via Azure AD for Direct Queries check box.

Use virtual network data gateways in Power BI semantic models

A Power BI report maker or creator can now publish a report and associate the semantic model to the virtual network data gateway data source.
