Email subscriptions if subscription owner leaves the company?

If I have subscribed a lot of users to a report in a workspace and leave the company, what happens to those subscriptions? Will they keep getting emails?

 

Can I transfer ownership of the subscription to another user before I leave?

Hi @andrewpp ,

 

I believe that the subscriptions will fail - because the userid that created them is gone.  Yes, you can transfer ownership.  Probably the easiest way (from a functional perspective) is to make somebody else an owner of the workspace/report/app and then have them setup the exact same subscription and then remove you.

As an Administrator, I found that one can take over the subscription at any time.

 

Steps:

  1. Inside the Power BI Service > Display the Settings menu (gear icon in upper right corner) and select Notifications 
  2. Hover over the supscription name and click on the Take Over icon to take ownership of another person's subscription.

A subscription will end if the Power BI Pro or Premium Per User (PPU) license expires, the report or dashboard is deleted by the owner, or the user account used to create the subscription is deleted.
