I am currently an Intern and have been working on a report with power bi, I am leaving after this week and will need to give admin rights to someone in the company. PowerBi is very new in my company and most don't know anything about it. What PowerBi license do you need to give others admin right and recive admin rights?

Hi, @SparkyLab
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
Yes, as vicky_ mentioned, we recommend that you have a Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license. It is also advisable for the user taking over to have a Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license. Here is a screenshot from the relevant documentation:

3.Keep the original PBIX file for any future changes.

You may need to note that as the user taking over, to refresh the workspace content, you must take ownership of the dataset. To do this, you need to be a member of the workspace with edit permissions, and then click the "Takeover" button on the dataset settings page.

You will need at least powerBI Pro (or you can get Premium per User, but this option is more epxensive, and there's no need to if your workspace isn't Premium). Once they have a license, you can then give them admin permissions on PowerBI service: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-roles-new-workspaces
Ok, I'm assuming that I will need PowerBI pro aswell to give them admin permissions?
