Difference between Member and Contributor

Hello,  What is the difference between Member and Contributor in Power BI? Can they delete reports created by others?

    Hi Lora_0121 - Access to Content:

    • Member: Can view, edit, and share content such as reports, dashboards, and datasets. Members can also add other users to the workspace.
    • Contributor: Can create and edit content in the workspace but cannot share it or add other users to the workspace.
    • Sharing Permissions:

      • Member: Can share reports and dashboards with others outside the workspace if the tenant and workspace settings allow it.
      • Contributor: Cannot share reports or dashboards outside the workspace.
    • Workspace Management:

      • Member: Has slightly more administrative rights than a Contributor, such as controlling some workspace settings.
      • Contributor: Focused on content creation and editing without additional administrative privileges.

     

    • Member: Yes, Members can delete reports, dashboards, and datasets created by others within the workspace.
    • Contributor: Yes, Contributors can also delete reports created by others. However, this depends on the workspace settings and the permissions granted by the workspace admin.

    Hope this helps.
