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

Definitely needs to allow other admins or group ownership for edits. I have a situation where we have to use a gateway but only certain people are permitted to create flows against the gateway by security so if i create a flow i want to allow other team members ability to edit it.

RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins

As many other colleagues has said, without this feature is impossible to Imagine the usage of dataflow in an Entreprise environment. it would be Hilarious to have an Small team of dataflow developers deciding who is the “owner” of the day…. This kind of limitations are a great constraint to promote the adoption of the tool in l’argentí organizations. Please, make it possible. Thx

Astonishing that this isn't a feature already. Why in the world would they make dataflows single-user only?This is basic, basic stuff for a collaboration space to have.

Another issue working part of a teamWe need to be able to alter other Data Engineers elements without having to take ownership without it resetting connection credentials

RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins

another ridiculous and stupid feature not available as standard with power bi considering the cost of licences....seems like such an obvious feature to include when collaborating on reports and data flows.

Maybe not even admin, members and contributors may need to do this.

RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins

Anyone who is a workspace admin must be able to edit a dataflow. This surely is an absolute must as otherwise it is very hard to recommend using dataflows at all as part of a best-practice implementation.

RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins

This is much awaited feature; workspace admin should be able to edit the data flow. I would like to add few more suggestions here.Workspace admin should be able to edit the dataflow.Edit by anyone other than the owner should be versioned. To reduce space requirement only the latest version can be maintained at per user level.Only owner should be allowed to delete the dataflow.

RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins

This is a huge problem still. We have had multiple dataflows break from having to take ownership from each other and then we run into credential issues and nobody is able to modify the dataflow going forward. We have had to delete the dataflows and rebuild them and then go adjust every report that was attached to those dataflows.
