Re: Who can get "Connect Directly" option in Gateway Connections?

hi ,
Where does your collegue see the "Connect Directly" option? Do you mean "Keep your data up to date"?
In order to see the Enterprise Gateway in the list, you need to go to Manage Gateways and add the data source there. 
If you just want to use the Personal Gateway, you can click on "Keep your data up to date" and it will allow you to set up the 8 times.
BTW all these functionalities require a PowerBI pro subscription so make sure you have one, I assumed you did since you can see the gateway options in scheduled refresh.
Thanks,
Dimah
