Workspace Member cannot edit or amend other (lower) Workspace Users

[_MMahmood_]

As a Member you should be able to edit other Workspace Users and edit their permissions (e.g. from Viewer to Contributor).

As per the latest update on the Power BI Service, the Workspace User has to be removed by an Admin and then re-added by the Member with the higher permission.

e.g. Adam is a Member on a Workspace.

Bob is a Viewer on a Workspace.

Chris is an Admin on a Workspace.

Adam cannot upgrade / edit / amend Bob to be a Contributor or Member.

Adam can add a new user with Viewer / Contributor / Member access.

Chris has to remove Bob, before Adam can add Bob as a Contributor / Member.

And yes, I've read this documentation: Roles in workspaces in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Hi @_MMahmood_ ,

This appears to be a new content change,

If you would like to suggest  feature improvements, you may  vote the idea and comment here  to improve this feature. It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.

Also,we'll help you give feedback on this as well.

Best Regards,
Community Support Team _ Caitlyn

Thank you for your reply.

Can you confirm @Anonymous  whether this is a bug or a feature which has been deprecated?

The ability for members to manage Workspaces is important to us.  We do not want to make everyone Admin(s) and deal with service requests to remove users.

If it is a feature which has been deprecated, then I will raise it as an idea.
