Currently, Power BI's API offers an admin method to retrieve a list of all datasets and another method to list the data sources for each dataset. Using these API methods, it’s possible to get a list of gateways associated with datasets.
However, there's no admin API for rebinding a dataset to use a different gateway. To programmatically change the gateway, the user invoking the API command must be the owner of the dataset.

This poses a problem when attempting to use a script to perform a system-wide data set gateway migration, as it’s not desirable for the user running such a script to take ownership of all datasets.

Would you please add an admin API method allowing gateway rebinding without requiring that the invoking user own the dataset?
