Permissioning in Workspaces

[leahschneider]

I have a workspace that publishes to an app.  I have several people who I'd like to be able to create reports based on the workspace datasets.  I do not want them to be able to edit or delete existing reports.  I would like them to be able to access the dataset in the service or desktop to create a report and I would like them to be able to share that report with others if they like.  As far as I know this isn't possible.  Does anyone know how to do this?

@leahschneider ,

I'm afraid this could not be achieved because "create reports" and "not able to edit or delete existing reports" is conflict. Because the new workspaces offer three roles: admins, members, and contributors.

Admins can:

• Update and delete the workspace.
• Add/remove people, including other admins.
• Do everything members can do.

Members can:

• Add members or others with lower permissions.
• Publish and update an app.
• Share an item or share an app.
• Allow others to reshare items.
• Do everything contributors can do.

Contributors can:

• Create, edit, and delete content in the workspace.
• Publish reports to the workspace, delete content.
• Can’t give new people access to content. They can’t share new content, but can share with someone with whom the workspace, item, or app is already shared.
• Can’t modify the members of the group.

Thank you.  This seems like a very weird concept.  I've never heard of anything that doesn't let you prevent people from deleting.  Will this feature ever become available?
