Dataflow ownership
Hi everyone,
I have a question. In Power BI Service, when someone creates or publishes a semantic models or a dataflow they automatically become its owner. There is also an option for other users to take over the dataflow to access all its settings.
Is there a way to make a specific group the workspace admin so they have full control over semantic models , dataflows without needing to take over? I want the dataset to be owned by all members of the security group instead of just the original publisher.

Deku Thank you for your quick response.
To ensure that all members of a specific security group have full control over semantic models and dataflows in Power BI Service, assign the group the Admin role at the workspace level. This gives them full permissions without needing to take over ownership manually.
and Pleas note that,
- The original creator will still be listed as the "owner", but Admins can manage all assets.
- Dataflows can only have one owner, but workspace Admins can take ownership if needed.
