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.

Fully support the implementation of Power BI in our factories (for DOR/WOR/MOR meetings etc.) We will gain speed in our decision making & problem solving.....

RE: Connect to SAP BW with SSO

Power BI connectivity to BW is complicated, extremly slow and can be said that unusable now.
