Restricting workspace non-Admin roles from adding users

[southwood]

We need to have tight control over the users viewing specific workspace content and want to restrict the ability to add users to only the Admin role. Is there a way to disable the "add users" capability from the Member and Contributor roles?

Hi, @southwood 

As far as I’m concerned, only members in the new workspace can add members or others with lower permissions to the workspace, and contributors can add others to the workspace.

As collinq said, the roles in new workspace are hardcoded right now and you can’t change it. Therefore, I think the temporary solution to this problem can be adding these users with the “contributor” role to this workspace, which can also obtain the most permissions of “member” role without “adding roles”

You have to have some users in the Member role to be able to create an app for the workspace.

Hi, @southwood 

Yes, only members and admins of the workspace can create an APP. But once an App is created, the contributors can also update the APP if they are allowed to.

Therefore, I think the “Contributor” role is good enough to meet your requirement.😂

Hi @southwood ,

When you share the report, uncheck the option for the users that you are sharing with to re-share.

This doesn't address the main topic which is allowing the MEMBER role adding users to the workspace itself giving them access to all content.

Hi @southwood ,

There is currently no way for this to be done - the roles are set and hardcoded right now.    This sounds like a great idea though - maybe you can search and see if one similar to this exists, or add your own and let us know the link so we can vote for it - https://ideas.powerbi.com/
