Hello -
I published a report with Start Date / End Date parameters. I am able to use and update the parameters just fine in Power BI Services. I would like to allow other end users to be able to do the same; however, one user (with Workspace Contributor permissions) is unable to edit the parameter as that setting is greyed out for her. See screenshot below:
1. The parameters are Date data types, so the issue isn't caused by using any or binary parameter types.
2. I am using import rather than direct query.
3. The end user also has access to the dataset.
Why can't the end user change the parameter? Is this a permissions issue? Any thoughts?
Thank you,

That button called "Take Over" is the reason, there is only 1 "owner" of a Dataset/Dataflow at a time. If the user were to click "Take Over", the Data Sources would switch to using their permissions and the greyed out fields should be usuable.
Of course! I knew that. Thank you so much.
