When configuring a refresh of a dataset, only the person who originally configured the refresh can see the settings. For someone else to take it over, you need to then enter all of the connection information in again. It would be nice to be able to see and modify this information without having to set it all up again.

RE: Make it so you do not have to take over a dataset refresh.
I completely agree. When a workspace has several admin users, it doesn't make sense to me that I have to take over to change the refresh schedule, set an email when the refresh fails, or even update the credentials/mapping to a gateway since passwords sometimes expire. A dataset should be allowed to be administered by anyone that has admin rights.
RE: Make it so you do not have to take over a dataset refresh.
Power BI needs this desperately. It's honestly a complete and utter joke that as a Power BI Portal Admin, and an owner of Workspaces, I can't see the dataset parameters, gateway settings, refresh schedules, and Deployment Pipeline parameter rules of Datasets owned by another developer, without first having to take ownership of those datasets. Just to confirm things are done right, I have to take ownership and then re-apply any credentials. What is this default locked-down behaviour trying to prevent?
RE: Make it so you do not have to take over a dataset refresh.
Please allow admins of the dataset to schedule refreshes without the need for administrative takeover to resume the refresh when the primary admin who own the dataset leaves the organization.

Only realized how important this is when you need to take over multiple datasets and dataflows from another user. Its a must have!
RE: Make it so you do not have to take over a dataset refresh.
It really makes no sense to have the data sources (configured by admins on the data gateway) affected by changes to datasets configured by developers elsewhere. Neither does it make sense to have datasets (which may be at an enterprise level and maintained by a whole team) owned by a single person without even the option of specifying a group. The 'recreate cloud data sources' button doesn't even work either! Seriously need to remove this as a feature as soon as possible, it's a terrible stain on the product
RE: Make it so you do not have to take over a dataset refresh.
Any one with Admin authority to the Dataset or Workspace should be allowed to schedule refreshes, even if the access is as a group profile with Admin rights!
RE: Make it so you do not have to take over a dataset refresh.
We struggle with the same issue. We have a team of five developers and quite a lot of reports, and every time we need to change the scheduled refresh, a developer has to take over the dataset from another developer and re-map the data source connections in the gateway settings of the dataset. This shouldn't be needed as we're all admins in the gateway and workspaces.

Agreed!
