Data Management GatewaysThe Data Management Gateway is a client agent that provides access to on-premises data sources in your organization. You must have at least one gateway installed in your corporate environment and register it with the Power BI Admin Center portal before creating data sources in the portal. The Power BI Admin Center lets you create multiple gateways, and download and install gateways on multiple on-premises computers. For example, you may choose to have one gateway per each department and assign all the data sources in a department to the gateway dedicated to that department. The gateway(s) installed in your organization must be connected to the Data Management Gateway service in the cloud for the clients to access on-premises data sources registered with the Admin Center.

What’s the role of a Data Steward

Identify and acquire new data sources. Create and maintain consistent reference data and master data definitions. Publish relevant data to appropriate users in an organization, and monitor the published data sources for usage/relevance/quality feedback.

Create and manage business metadata for published data sources to ensure that it is easily discoverable, and meaningful to information workers. Resolve data integrity issues across stakeholders. Analyze data for quality and reconcile data issues.
