Installing an on-premises data gateway

On-premises data gateways allow users in your organization to connect Power Platform apps to on-premises data that is otherwise unavailable to the cloud-based apps. In this recipe, we'll install an on-premises data gateway on a server so that users can connect local data to Power Automate, Power BI, and Power Apps.

Getting ready

You'll need local admin access to a server that's always powered on. We'll install the gateway on this server, and the account you use to do so will automatically be made a gateway admin. It's recommended to use a service account if possible, but you can always change the service account used by the gateway later.

How to do it…

  1. Log in to the server on which you'll install the gateway.
  2. Navigate (and sign in if needed) to app.powerbi.com | the download icon | Data Gateway:
