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.

This is a must have, being able to backup and restore content is a must have in the enterprise space.

RE: Transfer of ownership of created dashboards

Can we get an update from MS? It's almost been a year since the last one.

An update on this would be nice.
This is really a (very) basic feature in my opinion...

RE: Transfer of ownership of created dashboards

I would like to see shared owners so reports can get updated when people are on leave.

RE: Transfer of ownership of created dashboards

Yes, also wondering when this will be completed. Groups is always an option, but as a Power BI change agent within a company, one of my self-created roles is in developing better analytical tools for others and then handing them off to the business to maintain and improve. This is becoming more and more frustrating of a process each time as more people are adopting the tool before it is officially handed over, meaning an awkward transition of "No, delete that dashboard. No, the other one. Yes, I am going to have him share it with you. OK well if you had it bookmarked like that then you will have to change the bookmark. Yes, yes, I know you just got used to it...." etc.

Please help me.
