    It would be great if there was an option to tranfer ownership of created reports and dashboards. This way, work would not have to be duplicated if the original creator was to leave the company/change roles/etc.

    We are looking into this but we do not have a proposed timeline for when this will release.

    Is there any work around to take ownership. The user who created the report left the organisation and the AD account was deleted.

    also useful if multiple owners were allocated to published reports and/or dashboards/datasets.

    Ridiculous that this wasn't even in the first iteration of the product!!! Typical MS lack of usability in a nutshell!

    I completely agree. Freelancers run into this issue all the time.

    This really needs to happen. This should have been implemented from the release of the application.

    Can you please update this with some progress as it would seem a relatively straight forward fix and this was 10 months ago

    this needs to be fixed. Global Admins should have access to assign rights to these workplaces

    Is there any update on this? Logging in as a terminated user is not something we can do. Transferring ownership or at least granting permissions is a requirement for us. It would be great if we could have an update on progress.

    Madness that users are faced with recreating content when someone leaves. Big black mark against Power BI.

    This is definitely needed. There is no reason an administrator should not be able to manage all aspects of PowerBI!
