Manage another user's content Pack
If you create the content pack from a group space, then any user who is a contributor to the group can delete it.
Designating certain groups for Content Pack / data governance is in our backlog.
I agree as you might guess lol. Yeah it is a real problem though, glad it happened to me now as opposed to 6 content packs from now though. I essentially now have a content pack that is stuck, no one can get to it or modify it. I can still connect to it, but it is sort of in limbo, and now if I publish an update, the old one is still going to appear along side of it.
This raises another interesting point/issue. Someone could easily join the organization, publish a content pack, and then leave the organization. No one would be able to ever manage that published content!

That's great to hear meysun, I will look into that going forward, thank you for the info. The oddball situation I have atm is definitely sort of a loop hole/bug, but as is I have no way to delete a content pack that someone in my organization produced. The funny part is that in this situation, I actually created it lol. But yeah it's a bad thing that a login user in the organization could create a content pack, publish it, and then no one but that person can control or manage it.
I do like the idea that a Global Admin in the tenant organization would default to a "content manager" role in BI sort of like in SSRS. But I totally get it that hey maybe it just doesn't do that yet.
meysun - what happens in the simple case where the publisher of a content pack leaves the company?
There is no elegant way to deal with this right now. If the account was deleted, I don't think you can do anything. If not, you can have the AD admin change the password so that you can log in as that user and make necessary updates, provided you still have the original artifacts (desktop model or excel power pivot)
Was wondering if there has been any update on this. Still have a content pack sitting out there that can not be deleted.
