Transfer of ownership of created dashboards

It would be great if there was an option to tranfer ownership of created reports and dashboards. This way, work would not have to be duplicated if the original creator was to leave the company/change roles/etc.

We really need this. We're losing valueable dashboards this way.

Hello, I'd like to put my vote in for this feature as well. As an admin I need to see what user created content is out there and be able to take ownership of it. If a great dashboard is created by a user we would like to be able to move it to a team that has the time and resources to maintain it.

It is appaling that Microsoft isn't replying to any comments here. A promise have been made to have this in Place in over a year ago! We too have the need for this functionality I too work for a lagre Organization and when people quit so does the reports and dashboards that they left behind. UPDATE PLEASE!

This feature is a must. It doesn't make sense to recreate all Dashboards from scratch once we decide moving from trial account to licensed one!!

I voted for this feature but want to chime in to say that the scalable, enterprise-level best practice for creating anything that's shared to a broad audience is to use a workspace and distribute the content via an app or add users to the workspace and secure those users as read only. Doing so means you can have multiple people that are allowed to edit/publish content and if someone where to leave the company another person could easily take over management of the pbix files, dashboards, etc. I am a Power BI partner and I always tell my customers to use Share Dashboard/Share Report sparingly for the reasons mentioned in the comments. I know its easier to just hit share dashboard and add people but it's not scalable and there are many other benefits of using workspaces (OneDrive library, team site, etc.) on top of supporting dashboards/reports if someone leaves the company/org.

Jordan makes an excellent point about Workspaces instead of Share Dashboard. However, for all those shared things out there from users who have now moved to pastures new, this remains a much needed 'admin feature'.
