We need to allow all admins of the workspace in which the dataflow is held to be able to edit the flow. Multiple people contribute to a dataflow at different stages of a project but all need to be able to review, understand and if necessary edit the dataflow

RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins
It is a must for large companies to set dataflow permissions for a group of users to see, edit and in general collaborate on the dataflow. Now only the creator is the owner and can see / change it while nobody else is able to touch it.
RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins
At the moment, you can view or edit a data flow only if you are the owner.
I would like either:
- the ability to view the entities in a dataflow if I am not the owner without having to takeover the data flow
- the ability for the owner of the data flow to be defined as a AD group rather than an individual
RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins
Currently, only the owner can change an existing dataflow, no other user has access to it. What if that person leaves the company or is on vacation?
This should be opened up for admins or members, preferably even with a read / write permission settings for a dataflow.
RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins
I need to enable people to make changes to the tables/queries within the dataflow. I set it up for them, but I'm not doing all of the work.
RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins
Absolutely vital to allow groups to edit a workflow, not just a single person!
RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins
I'm hesitant to report this as a BUG because I know it's going to come back as "by design" like several others I have reported.
In this case, it is just POOR design.
Kind of like how if you are an Administrator on a Gateway, you do NOT automatically inherit permissions to USE any Data Source defined UNDER that gateway. Oh sure, you can edit said Data Source and grant yourself those permissions. But really, why does it have to be that way?
RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins
You can take ownership, but then it resets credentials, which breaks the whole thing
RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins
What if workspace owner same as dataflow owner.
RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins
Admins should be able to view, edit, etc.
Viewers should be able to view code but not edit
if using best practice of separate workspaces, should not be an issue as the only members should be involved in the development
