Hi PowerBI Community,
I'm trying to find a solution to programmatically switch the owner of the 'semantic_model' (aka. dataset) to other workspace admin. Does anyone know if this is possible? I have tried using Post Dataset User In Group API endpoint, and for some reason the dataset is still linked to the original user.
FYI I've added my comment to other similar post but there's no reply.
Best regards

Thanks @lbendlin . I think the 'Datasets - Take Over In Group' endpoint will switch the data ownership to the current authorized user, correct?
Let's say Workspace I has three admins: Admin A, Admin B and Admin C.
If I were Admin A, my goal is to switch the ownership of the dataset from Admin B (the original owner) to Admin C.
