Helper IIPowerBI Organization Apss - contributor role able to update?
Will there be any possibilty to set that the workspace contributors can update the OrgApp, like for the "main" App?
This is not correct what you are saying. The setting counts for the App but not for the Organization App?
Cannot save changes You do not have share permissions for the following items or the underlying items: Semantic Model Browser [report] To save the app, you must obtain permission to share these items and the underlying items or undo your changes.

Hi FilipVDR
Thank you for reaching out microsoft fabric community forum.
Yes, based on the image you shared, it looks like there is an option in Power BI that allows contributors to update the Organization App (OrgApp) for a workspace. This setting is labeled "Allow contributors to update the app" under Secure update.If this option is checked, workspace contributors should be able to update the Organization App, similar to how they can update a regular Power BI app. This is useful when multiple users need to manage and deploy updates without requiring admin access.

Hi FilipVDR
Thank you for your follow-up and for clarifying the earlier confusion. I appreciate your patience. The "Allow contributors to update the app" setting in Power BI is only applicable to regular workspace apps, not Organization Apps. For Organization Apps, only Members and Admins can update and publish changes. Contributors can modify content within the workspace, but they cannot push updates to the Organization App itself.The error message "Cannot save changes. You do not have share permissions for the following items…" appears because the contributor lacks share permissions on the content included in the app (e.g., reports, datasets, semantic models). Even with the correct workspace role, these permissions are necessary for saving changes.
To resolve this, you have a few options: promote the contributor to Member (allowing them to update the app), keep them as Contributor and have an Admin handle the updates, or ensure they have share permissions on all content to prevent save errors (though this won’t enable them to update the app).
For more details, you can refer to the official Microsoft documentation on workspace roles here.
