What account should be used in the Power BI gateway configuration?

I'm installing the Power BI gateway (standard) and it asks me to enter a user account (screenshot below).

What account should this be? Service principal? or an user account? What account should be used here so that there for example if the user leaves the organization then there won't be any issues?

User account of a gateway admin.

Add another gateway admin in the service. The important thing is to retain and securely store in a shared location the Windows Admin account credentials (if non-domain-joined) and most importantly the gateway recovery key.
