Hi laserkiwi

From your screenshot, words here “you can add or remove members or delete groups, but you can’t make other changes due to permission” should be noticed.

Does this issue occur to any other App Workspace?

What kind of permission does your account have with this App Workspace?

 

Best Regards

Hi Maggie,

 

I'm the only person in the business with the Power BI service administrator role, and I'm the creator & admin of all of those App Workspaces in Power BI.

 

I've always seen that message on the groups automatically created by Power BI - I don't see it on any security groups I create for example (below). I just presumed that message was there because it was a group created in Power BI, rather than in Office 365, and editing the name can only be done in Power BI.

 

What's weird is that the message has always been there, yet I was able to change the group / App workspace images last week.

 

Cheers,

 

Kait

    I feel like I'm missing something here...

     

    I see on this page https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-manage-app-workspace-in-power-bi-and-office-365 the image shows a workspace menu with Files, Members, etc, and it describes changing the app image via the Members option.

     

    I seem to only have a truncated version of that menu though.

     

     

    I'm trying to do it through Office 365 as that seemed to be the only option I have presented to me. Plus it worked the first few times!

      Did you manage to fix the problem, dealing with the same problem here.

        Yes and no - I spent a long time going back and forward with Support over email after raising a ticket.

         

        We never got to a resolution, but then the 'Improved Workspaces' appeared as an option and it makes it far easier to update the icon directly in the Power BI Service without having to go to the 365 Admin Centre.

         

        So it was far from the ideal solution, but I had to re-create my workspaces as new 'improved' workspaces and republish everything to get that functionality. It was still less time than I spent trying to find a solution through!
