Super UserIf you use pbip and publish only with fabric API using the service principal it would have ownership, unless someone takes it over.
You need to take ownership to setup connections or refresh schedule, unless you are going to use the power bi APIs to update these.
Why do you want it to retain ownership?
Right now, we’re publishing from Power BI Desktop. Our goal is to avoid individual ownership so the semantic model isn’t tied to a specific user, since team members may change frequently. We’ve already noticed that when someone does a take over, things like scheduled refresh get disabled.

That's a double edged sword. You need an owner for auditing purposes, and to yell at when the semantic model causes too many CUs.
