Connect to SAP BW with single-sign-on via on-premise gateway

Large SAP BW installations with thousands of users are often accessed via single-sign-on (SSO) e.g. the users windows credentials are used to authenticate to BW. SSO simplifies the user experience and reduces user administration costs. These users should be able to setup on-premise gateway connections that can be used to refresh data sets in the Power BI Service. The connections should leverage that individuals BW roles & authorizations and not require a BW password i.e. automatically associate the Power BI user ID to the associated SAP user ID.

Totally agree and have voted however the experience and accuracy of retrieving content from SAP BW needs a lot of work too!

RE: Connect to SAP BW with SSO

excellent tool to consolidate effective reports and effective management of information, however, it needs to be updated in terms of speed in data processing according to the configuration of some layouts
