Semantic Model owner name missing
I recently published a report to a shared workspace, and I noticed that the owner is now displayed as the workspace name instead of my own name, which was the previous behavior. Has there been a change in how ownership is displayed?
Hi Asamoah1
In shared workspaces, the “Owner” can show the workspace (or a service principal) if the model was published by automation/service principal, someone used Take over, or it’s an auto-created model (e.g., from Lakehouse/Warehouse). Nothing is “missing” it’s just who owns it now.
How to check/fix fast
-
Open the semantic model >> Settings >> About >> see the Owner.
-
Want your name there? Click Take over (you need Contributor or above).
-
If it was published by automation (service principal), either keep it that way or republish from your Desktop so you’re the owner.
-
If you’re looking at Contacts, change them under Settings >> Endorsement & discovery >> Contacts (that’s not the Owner).
