Unable to refresh dataset, problem with dataset owner

Hi,

 

Datasets settings says that I am the owner of the dateset.

When I am trying to update the dateset it says that the owner is another.

I set a screencapture below (the first black account is mine, the last is account which is disabled).

I haven't seen the opportunity to take over of the dataset. What should I do to get the possibility to refresh the dataset?

Hi, @Anonymous 

If you the administrator of the current workspace ,you should have the permission to take over the dataset here,

If you didn't find it ,it is recommended to open a support ticket to let engineers look into the issue on your side.

Try to take over dataset from here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/takeoveringroup

 

Click on this link and click on Try Me

Enter Workspace ID and Dataset ID

That should let you takeover the dataset and then try to schedule the refresh

 

Did I answer your questions? Give a thumbs up and accept this post as solution!

Thank you for your advice but it didn't fix the problem.

 

I tried this link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/power-bi/datasets/takeoveringroup

to do the take over manually, but it says 

Access to api.powerbi.com was denied

I will contact to the support line.

 

Greetings,

Anne
