Adding authors/builders in Power BI

Hello there,

 

I have a Power BI report currently published on Service. I would like to add my colleagues as additional author/builder for the report so that she would be able to refresh the dataset. 

 

I have added her access to "Build" under the Permission setting. However, it does not seem to work. She couldn't see the refresh button on Service. Currently, the report and dataset are published under MyWorkspace. Do I need to move the report to other workspace? Anyone knows how to add additional builder to a published report please?

 

Thank you for your advice!

They will need Contributor or greater (so Contributor, Member or Admin) permission to the Workspace to refresh the dataset.  You cannot grant other users permission to your My Workspace, so the dataset will have to reside in another (shared) Workspace.

@Anonymous  Hey , You have to create new workspace and add other person as admin in that then publish your report in that group .
