change default permission on Roles in workspaces

Hello,

I know the roles in workspaces Power BI offers and what they allow to do in the tool. My question is if there's any way around to override those permissions as we need something between Contributor and Member.

here a reference of what each role has

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-new-workspaces#roles-in-the-new-workspaces

 

any ideas?

 

Thank you!

    Hi there

    What happens when a user has the contributor role and they also have been assigned as a user on the Gateway under the specific data source?

  • Hi there

    Currently there is now way that I know of to modify the roles, you have to use those roles that are defined.

      Thanks GilbertQ v-kelly-msft for you quick answers.

       

      we give contributor access to developers but seems that's not enough as they sometimes need to change the gateway connection for the dataset they are working on (SSO or embedded user/password)

      Now, contributor role at workspace level isn't enough. And member/admin are definitely roles we don't want to assign as they give the option, among others, to add users and so on.

      That's why we were looking any way to customize a role that meet our needs. But you guys may have way much experience on this so happy to read what ideas you may have.

      if you need further details, let me know. happy to share. 

       

      Thanks.
