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.

It's a little surprising to be confronted with a situation, come looking for the answer to be told "create content in app workspaces as opposed to personal workspaces." It's too late. The creator of the reports didn't read that advice. I'm also surprised that as an Office 365 admin I can't reassign ownership of a dataset or report. Essentially, when so-and-so goes under the bus, I should be able to give that report to their replacement and say "carry on". How long has this suggestion been posted?

This is a serious problem when somebody leaves the company. The dashboards are linked to their desktop. They can transfer the PBI file but what if you have HUNDREDS of users?

This is needed. I created a dashboard and published it. Now that it's established, I would give it to my technical team lead and let him maintain it - but I can't. As the owner, I can give him read/share access - I should be able to give him write access as well.

Any update on this? Approx ETA?

This is definitely needed. There is no reason an administrator should not be able to manage all aspects of PowerBI!

Madness that users are faced with recreating content when someone leaves. Big black mark against Power BI.

Is there any update on this? Logging in as a terminated user is not something we can do. Transferring ownership or at least granting permissions is a requirement for us. It would be great if we could have an update on progress.

this needs to be fixed. Global Admins should have access to assign rights to these workplaces

Can you please update this with some progress as it would seem a relatively straight forward fix and this was 10 months ago
