Power BI Workspace Roles

Hello,

 

I added a user with member role to the workspace but the user is not able to publish the report from Desktop.

Member role is set with read only permission not with edit permission.

this is the old workspace , why the member is not able to publish a report from desktop?

 

Thanks
