Data Source management on Power platform admin center

We recently centralized gateway management experience on the Power platform admin center. We are now happy to announce that we are introducing data source management on admin center as well.

Note: This experience will be embedded within Power BI in the future once we have feature parity and will replace the existing “Manage gateways” page.

You can access this feature by clicking on Data as shown below. This was called Data Gateways previously.

You will now see two tabs called “Data sources” and “Data Gateways”. The Data Gateways tab would include all gateway management feature while  the Data sources view provides visibility into Power BI cloud and on-premises data sources.   Learn more about supported data sources.

Note:

• Ability to add or edit data sources isn’t available with this release but will be coming soon.
• Data sources tab will not be available when you log in as a tenant or service admin and the Tenant Administration toggle is turned on.

Data sources

The on-premises data sources visible here include all on-premises data source definitions on gateways you are administrator of. The cloud data sources shown here are cloud connections in your published Power BI reports. In addition, you can review the following information about these data sources:

• Data source name: Name of the data source
• Data source type: Type of the data source. More information regarding the list of supported data sources.
• Data source users: Users who can use this data source in datasets and dataflow
• Status: Select to check the status of the data source
• Gateway Cluster Name: The gateway cluster on which this data source was created. If it is a cloud data source, this value will say “Cloud”
