how to protect work space from deleting

Hi team,

As a visualization team, we want to open product-based workspaces. Our aim here is to do self-service analysis. We want them to upload their own data and create their own reports. Therefore, view authority is insufficient, we give them admin authority in the workspace they are in. However, we only want the Visualization team leader to delete the workspace. Is there any precaution or form of authorization we can do about this?

Hi @emreY 

Why not give the team "Member" or "Contributor" status on the Workspace.

"Member" can do everything an Admin can do, but can't delete the workspace or add an Admin user, but they can do everything else including add and delete content and add and delete users with lower permissions. "Contributor" can add and edit content, but can't add users or delete the Workspace.

See Roles in workspaces in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn for the full details.

Hope this helps
