Post ProdigyUnable to access other users' workspaces as Admin?
OneWithQuestion
Personal workspaces are of type PersonalGroup, classic workspaces are of type Group, and the new workspace experience workspaces are of type Workspace. The limitation is you can only edit the access permission with new workspace(Type workspace). For PersonalGroup and Group type, you only can see the details.You could submit an idea here for your thoughts.

Community ChampionOneWithQuestion - Well, yes and no. Think of personal workspaces like the old "my site" in SharePoint. It is designed to be someone's personal space. But, you can "take it over" essentially, sort of.

Post ProdigyIt looks like in the referenced link (thank you BTW) the only option there was to take over the actual user's account by getting their password reset.
There must be some way to access workspaces and dashboards in PBI other than taking over the actual user account that created them??

OneWithQuestion - Well, I am not aware of it if there is one. Here's something to think about. Go to your personal workspace in Power BI. See any way of giving someone else access to your workspace? I do not.
