Shared Workspace as Admin

Hi,

 

I have a technical question on how the workspace Pro/Premium. 

 

If I shared a workspace with another user  (Admin right) and then I leave the company, will the workspace be available to the other user? or the workspace follow the creator (owner) of the workspace?

Hi @dtran9936,

 

If you shared a Power BI workspace with another user and granted them admin rights, and then you leave the company, the workspace will still be available to the other user with admin rights. The ownership of the workspace is not tied to a specific user, but rather to the Office 365 group that the workspace is associated with.

When you leave the company, your Office 365 account will be deactivated, and you will lose access to the workspace. However, the other user with admin rights will still have access to the workspace and will be able to manage it. They can also assign ownership of the workspace to another user if needed.

 

Note that if you are the only owner of the workspace, it's important to make sure that there are other users with admin rights or ownership of the workspace before you leave the company to ensure that the workspace is not lost.

 

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Best regards,
