We have a group of people using Power BI reports, in which a Subscription is created by me is not visible by others. If we have an option to show the subscriptions like public or private in which public subscription can be visible for all the members who have access for those reports/part of subscription emails where as private subscription be visible only to the one who created.

This will help others to modify the Subscriptions when creator is not available

Administrator

Workspace Admins now have the ability to view, edit, and take over all subscriptions in the workspace which they are assign the Admin role. See the following doc for more details: https://docs.microsoft.com/power-bi/consumer/end-user-subscribe?tabs=admin#manage-subscriptions.

RE: subscription to be modified by multiple members

I am a workspace admin and I have created a couple of subscriptions for reports within the workspace. The issue is that my boss, who is also a workspace admin in the same workspace, is unable to see the subscriptions. Only I can see them. Can this please be addressed as I think there should be visibility on which reports/dashboards have subscriptions for all admins.

As an Admin (power BI or Tenant Admin) need to see a list or matrix of all the subscriptions, type, and times across all of our workspaces.

RE: subscription to be modified by multiple members

An idea as a global admin:
On a dashboard, let other admins see the e-mail subscriptions and edit them. So when PowerBI_Admin1 makes a dashboard, add e-mail addresses on the subscriptions form. Then let PowerBI_Admin2 view and edit those e-mail addresses in the subscription. 




See this of the Microsoft documentation:

Workspace Admin should have the ability to control who can create/update subscriptions and must be able to see all subscriptions in that Workspace created by different users. Please bring more administration to email subscriptions.

This is very important for my company! I am surprised that this is not yet added by Power BI!!!

RE: subscription to be modified by multiple members

Please add this feature!!

Problem Statement:

If User-X/Admin want to revoke the email subscription but it is created by User-Y. User-X/Admin dont have ownership of that subscription. The User-Y with the ownership of the subscription did not transfer it to User-X/Admin and has left the company. How can User-X/Admin edit the Subscription of the user?

Note:
Email address of the ownership of the subscription is not active.

RE: subscription to be modified by multiple members

This needs to be extended to User across the tenancy (not user/workspace) and visibilty for 'entity' owners - who is subscribed to report etc
Defo needed for tenant admins

RE: subscription to be modified by multiple members

Couldn't agree more that this is a must add.  The ability for workspace admins to manage all subscriptions (just like SSRS) is critical.
