Maximize efficiency with Microsofts shareable cloud connections for datasets and paginated reports for streamlined cloud connection management.

Microsoft has introduced the public preview of shareable cloud connections for datasets and paginated reports. This streamlines cloud connection management, providing an efficient future for datasets and paginated reports. Connections through Power BI can either be created via a data gateway or direct cloud connections that do not require a data gateway. These can further be classified into personal and shareable connections.

Shareable cloud connections allow for multiple connections to the same data source, which is beneficial when you want to use distinct settings for different datasets and artifacts.
It lets you share these connections with other users by assigning them various permissions.
There is a reduction in the overhead of maintaining the data connections and credentials. The newly released data source and gateway management experience allows centralized data source connection management for cloud and gateway connections.
Personal cloud connections can only create a single connection to a given data source. If the credentials for this personal connection are changed, all datasets attached to this personal connection are affected.
Shareable cloud connections allow for multiple connections to the same data source, enabling you to access the data source with the connection owner’s configuration.

Importantly, it is essential to share only those connections that you are authorized to share. Microsoft encourages user feedback on shareable cloud connections for datasets and paginated reports for better streamlining of cloud connection management in organizations.

More About Shareable Cloud Connections

Shareable cloud connections are geared towards maximizing efficiency and flexibility in cloud connection management. They provide multi-connection support to the same data sources thus ensuring distinct settings for different datasets and paginated reports. It also promotes collaboration by enabling the sharing of connections with other users. This feature offers a centralized data source connection management, resulting in lowered overhead of maintaining data connections and credentials. While personal cloud connections can only create one connection to a data source, shareable cloud connections allow users to have multiple connections, which enhances the versatility of data source access. User privacy and data protection are key as users are advised to share only authorized connections.
