Thanks for your reply v-qiuyu-msft

 

We have tried your suggestion previously and cannot get it to work. My colleagues appear to have the correct permissions for the data sources but cannot get it to work.

 

Is there anything else we should check?

It sounds like they have permission for onsite data but not to edit in  PowerBI.  In my group workspaces, as the owner, I have to assign rights to edit or refresh. I do this by clicking the elipse beside the workspace name and selecting Members. This takes me to the group page where I can click the elipse beside the member name to give this shared ownership of the dataset so that they can edit and/or complete manual refreshes. If you use the data gateway, you may also have to make sure they have permissions in the gateway as well.

    Also check to make sure that each user has been listed in any datasources under the "User" tab on the Manage Gateways, if you are using a gateway as part of your refreshes.

    Thanks kcantor for the reply. however, I do not see the same thing that you do when I click the ellipse:

     

     

    When I click 'Edit workspace' I can set whether my colleagues are Members or Admins. Neither option seems to allow them to update the datasets.

      Hi Sotirios,

       

      What you mean about "We have tried your suggestion previously and cannot get it to work. My colleagues appear to have the correct permissions for the data sources but cannot get it to work."?

       

      Please check if the app workspace member has edit permission. 

       

       

      Best Regards,
      Qiuyun Yu

        Thanks v-qiuyu-msft, however this has already been selected for each of my colleagues.
