Accepting request for report access

Hi all,

I am Admin in a workspace and I am getting requests for access to reports from general users.

I would like somebody else to take care of approving or rejecting these requests. What privileges do they need for this? 

Do they necessarily have to be Admin?

Thanks

  • One more thing, in Workspace settings there is a contact list

    I personnaly never tested its fonctionnality. Please test it and let me know.

    Hi AlB 

    Technically End users should not access a Workspace to consume reports. They should be accessing reports in App via AD security groups. 

    No they can't be Admins of the workspace, Workspace is meant for collaboration and members to Test, Dev and collaborate with the Admin before going to Production.

    If you really have to add them to the Workspace then Viewer Role is good enough. You have to know, only the viewer role doesn't have access to the semantic model but can see reports in the workspace.

      Thanks aj1973 

      Sure, viewer role is enough. I wasn't asking about making general users admins but about the person that can approve their access requests.

      Right now I am getting all of those request but I do not have the time or the knowledge of the team to determine who can access. I would like somebody else on the team to go over these requests and approve/reject them. What privileges does that person need?

        Member role is enough. He can add users to the workspace. Careful Only admin can remove users so you don't want to give that role to anyone
