    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    The workspace in your screenshot is My Workspace which can not be assigned to others. My workspace is your personal sandbox where you can create content for yourself.

    About Workspace type, please refer this.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/consumer/end-user-workspaces 

     

    In your case, please consider to move these reports and datasets to a new workspace. Downlaod the pbix file and republish to another new workspace. Then assign other users as admin while you are on leave.

     

    Best Regards

Hi Anonymous 

 

Just go to the Workspace and click on Access:

Under Access, you can add their email and then select Admin as their permission.

If they're in your organisation and you've provided access, it shouldn't require anything further.  Otherwise, you'll need to invite them via your Admin Portal as a User (https://portal.office.com/AdminPortal/)

 

Hope this helps!
