Change DataFlow Owner

Hello,
I just bought a Microsoft 365 license and PowerBI Pro licenses for a customer, I started to create data flow with user user@domain_name.onmicrosoft.com now after domain definitive migration I don't have anymore access to the data flow have already been created and I come across the message "Only the owner can edit the dataflow." with the new domain (user@domain_name.com)
I connected with another user (user2@domain_name.com) and I was able to take control of the dataflows,
now I connected with my user (user@domain_name.com) to regain control of the dataflow, I was able to change my data source, but while trying to modify the dataflow I come across "Only the owner can edit the dataflow"

Hi, @ihebc 

According to your description, you can not edit the dataflow even when you take over the dataflow, I think you should first check if your workspace has turned on the edit permission:

You can also press “Ctrl”+”Delete” to clear the cache of your browser, then refresh the page to check if you can edit now.

If you still have a problem, you can post more details about this problem.
