    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.

    RE: Connect to SAP BW with SSO

    Hi,
    PowerQUery in excel does supprt SAP universe as data source so not having same option in PoewrBI app does not make sense. Also same option was available when PowerBI desktop app was in preview.
    It would be very important data source to have.

    thanks,
    Dilkush

    SAP BW pls. I am completely pushing my IT & management to switch to PowerBI for daily analytics.

    Connectivity to SAP BW will change the game.

    Currently download data from BW through BEx in Excel to take advantage of PowerBI.
