Build an approval process for Gateways before they become Active on a tenant. The approval process would be manged by the Power BI Admin. This approval process could be a feature the Power BI Admin can enable / disable, defaulting to disabled to retrain backward compatibility.

Current reality allows anyone with a Pro License to push any internal data they have access too to the service. With the right permission they can then push this data public without restrictions.

This feature is a must have in an Enterprise concerned about how data is used / managed. Just because some has access to a data source doesn't mean Data Admin wan't this source to become publicly available via Power BI Service.

This shows as complete but is not, see documentation page:

View and manage on-premises data gateways (preview) - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn

It says: "This feature does not apply to on-premises data gateways (personal mode).".

Please reopen the idea. Thank you!

This is a potentially significant concern for us as we need to be able to provide governance and oversight for Gateway use.

Is this personal mode going to be included soon? It's been over two years now??

As per docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/onpremises-data-gateway-management

it appears that you can now manage installers for the enterprise gateway though it states that it does not apply to personal mode

We need this at our enterprise very badly!

Microsoft, please add this feature. We need a way to prevent personal gateways as it is a support burden for Enterprises.

RE: Approval Process for Gateways / Prevent Personal Gateways

We really need this. This is a non-stop support issue for us.

This needs to be implemented, and fast!

RE: Approval Process for Gateways / Prevent Personal Gateways

At present, O365 tenant admins can control who can install on-premise data gateways in Enterprise/Resource mode, so the approval process is required for gateways installed in Personal mode.

Additionally, if a tenant-level setting/control can be added (like an ON/OFF switch) that disables any on-premise gateway from being installed in Personal mode, that would be highly desired.
