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.

I like Casey's idea of a simple tenant setting that will enable/disable personal gateways. The individual approval process requested by Ray sounds great but I would imagine Casey's idea is faster for the Power BI team to implement.

RE: Approval Process for Gateways / Prevent Personal Gateways

There are a large number of governance and data security issues which need to be addressed.

This was one we had not considered but is quite valid and concerning.
