Community ChampionEven if you're listed as the Dataflow owner, Power BI might block edits due to stale credentials, workspace role limits, or gateway restrictions. Try re-authenticating the data source, confirm you're a workspace Admin, and check gateway access. If it still fails, it could be a tenant-level bug or metadata sync issue.
