Creating a shared account?

Hi All,

 

I'm new to the forum and have a question about setting up a shared power BI account that my team can all access.

 

The reason we want to do this is for coverage.  If someone is on vacation we all want to have access to publish, edit and share dashboards that each team member created in the shared account.  We also want to collaborate and share dashboards for seperate business units (Example:  I create a dashboard for my business unit and want to use the same dashboard for a different business unit (Different products).  We do not want to have each indivdual recreate the same dashboard, just edit the products and share it.

 

We are not trying to avoid the professional license just trying to collaborate and share work.  We all already have the professional version in free trial and intend to purchase it when that is expired.

Hi @MarkCosentino,

 

What did you mean 'a shared Power BI account'? All colleagues use the same account to create/edit/publish reports? Or did you mean others can publish the reports created by the one on vacation?

 

Not very clear about your requirement, but maybe an AppWorkspace might be useful.
