Melissa Coates walks us through Power BI permissions:
Based on the tests I’ve been doing, I’ve observed that users with membership to the Power BI administrator role have two sets of permissions apply:
- Activities which are scoped across the entire organization
- Activities for which normal user permissions apply
Within the above 2 categories, I’m thinking there are 4 main types of activities:
- Manage tenant settings (always scoped to the organization)
- Compile inventory and metadata (can be scoped to the organization)
- Manage workspace users (can be scoped to the organization)
- Export content from a workspace (relies on user permissions)
There’s a fair amount to digest, but Melissa does a good job explaining the implications of specific permissions.
