Data source management (preview)

[This article is pre-release documentation and is subject to change.]

On the Data page of the Power Platform admin center (https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com), you can view and manage Power BI cloud and on-premises data sources and gateway clusters. The on-premises data sources on this page include all on-premises data source definitions for gateways you administer. The cloud data sources on this page are cloud connections in your published Power BI reports.
