Workspace and storage
Hello,
Can someone explain to me how the storage of power bi works with workspaces?
- The workspace is 10 GB, is this storage assigned to a power bi pro license? What happens with the workspace if people with a power bi pro license leave?
- What happens with the content of the workspace if the owner of the workspace leaves the company?
- What happens with the content of the workspace if the creator of the concent leaves the company?
I have read this article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-admin-manage-your-data-storage-in-power-bi but I couldn't find the answers to my questions.
Kind regards.
Marc

Anonymous An assumption is being made here by Dale. That you are talking about an App Workspace (Group Workspace). These workspaces allow others to assume control as he stated above. However, if you are talking about the personal workspace (My Workspace) then those workspaces are bound to the user that left the company. You would need to login as that user, and there isn't any current method to extract or copy information from one workspace to another, so essentially you would need to rebuild it in a group workspace. This is why it is highly recommended that you build all company level reports or content that is shared with a wider audience in an App Workspace so nothing is ever lost.
Hi Marc,
1. Both Free and Pro users have 10 GB data storage. The other admins can run the workspace.
>>>Free and Pro users have a maximum 10 GB data storage.
2. The other admins can run the workspace.
3. The other admins can take the ownership of the dataset. And also the members can do it too if the members can edit the contents.
Best Regards,
Dale
