# EDITable Pre-requisites

Before you set up EDITable, you must complete the following additional steps with your Power BI administrator:

* EDITable is an add-on visual that operates on top of the Power BI framework, so users must log in with their Microsoft O365 account. Learn more more about Admin consent for Editable's Entra ID.
* Network firewalls block connections from IP addresses that do not have permission. You need to whitelist EDITable's outbound IPs in your Azure SQL database firewall rules.
* EDITable connects to data sources only through DirectQuery. Please ensure to select **DirectQuery** in Data Connectivity mode when you are connecting to data. To learn more, you can check out these pages: [About DirectQuery in PowerBI](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-directquery-about) and [Connect using DirectQuery](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-use-directquery).
