Delete Workspaces from others as Admin

[KBO]

Hi together,

I searched one hour for a solution but I can't find some. So maybe one of you have a simple explaination or solution. I try to clean up our unused workspaces/ groups/ personalgroups. How can I do this only with Power BI Admin rights?

Hi, Do you know how to assign Active Directory Group as Admin (instead of your individual email) to perform deleting of the workspaces?

*via Power BI Admin Portal or PowerShell scripts

@KBO ,

Based on my test, if you are assigned as an admin, you can delete the app workspace or new app workspace by click ellipse icon -> Edit Workspace or Workspace setting-> Delete Workspace.

Hi,

thank you for your aswer but this requires that I am a member of all workspaces, right? So what is If Im not member of all workspaces, is there any other way to delete workspaces from others?

Best,

Hey @KBO ,

I was looking to delete a workspace that I am not a member of, because the admin of the workspace has left the company.

If you are a Power BI Admin, you can do it in the Admin Portal.

- Go to Admin Portal on PBI Service
- Go to Workspaces,  and you will see a list of workspaces.

- Hover over the workspace to be delete, click the elipsis and select Access
- Make yourself an Admin 
- Then go into the workspace itself to delete it.

I hope this helps.

@KBO ,

I'm afraid this can't be achieved. You should be the admin of that workspace then you can delete it.

@v-yuta-msft,

yes I thought the same thing but I hoped there is a solution to handle it without be member of the workspace :).
