    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    1.If you as a user are assigned a role, by default you will inherit the permissions of that role. In classic workspaces, you can add only individuals to the members and admin lists. In the new workspaces, you can add multiple Active Directory security groups, distribution lists, or Microsoft 365 groups to these lists, for easier user management.

     

    2. A user can only have one role in a workspace.


    3. A user will see the corresponding workspaces where he has a role.

     

    Here are the capabilities of the four roles in new workspaces: admins, members, contributors, and viewers. All of these capabilities, except viewing and interacting, require a Power BI Pro license.
