Impactful IndividualCreating Security groups for use in PowerBI Admin Portal - do you guys just bug IT every time?
I'm a Power BI Admin at my organization. Various settings in the PowerBI Admin Portal can be enabled/disabled for various Security Groups. e.g.
- Receive email notifications for service outages or incidents
- Use datasets across workspacesShare content with external users
- Certification
And many more useful things.
Sounds great, but the only roles in Microsoft 365 that can create security groups, are Global Admin & User Admin. I'm neither of those things.
I'm curious how you folks go about this.
- Bug IT everytime?
- Got IT to give you User Admin rights?
- Avoid Security Groups in some what I'm not seeing?
- Yeah, I just log a call to the IT department and they then add or remove the users.
Unfortunately it is only a Global Admin or designated Admins who can configure security groups.

Hi there
What I have done is to create a good working relationship with the Admins, if you also explain to them that creating the security groups will make everything more secure, they often will buy into it.- GilbertQYeah, I just log a call to the IT department and they then add or remove the users.
