Dataflow Gen 1 Taking ownership failed, you can try again

[KilianvR]

Greetings,

One of my team members is not able to take over a gen 1 dataflow, with the following error:

Taking ownership failed, you can try again. Request ID: 5f8e7cc4-edf6-371b-91dc-fec452c7edd1

The team member has admin rights in the workspace so this is not the issue.

Hi @KilianvR ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.

Please check below things to fix the issue.

1. The Gen 1 dataflows have limitations when compared to Gen 2 dataflows. Some of the ownership actions might not be supported or may require additional permissions.

2. Please check the workspace is not in a restricted mode like read-only or governed by deployment pipelines.

3. In some cases due to cached credentials or session issues can cause this problem. Try from a different browser or different account.

4. If manual takeover fails, Please use the Power BI REST API to reassign ownership might work.

I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.

Regards,

Dinesh

We had a similar issue recently and raised a ticket. Microsoft dragged their feet, and the issue "went away by itself"  after 24 hrs.  You still want to raise the ticket.
