    The documentation on how to create or update gateway data sources using PowerShell needs to be updated. Several users experience issues: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/Power-BI-REST-API-via-Powershell-Create-Datasource/m-p/590293#M17980
    - A working example would be helpfull
    - Detailled instructions how to compose "credentionDetail" information is needed. A working example how to encrypt the credetials would be very helpfull.
    - A list of availlable values for "dataSourceType" is needed.

    Another / similar great features would be to be able to use the checkbox "skip test connection" to create a datasource without having to specify the credentials.
    I don't know if this is possible with the "anonymus" credential type. I did not figure out how to add a data source without specifying the credentials.
