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

How many votes do we need? This is a major inconvenience.

We very much need this. Datasets have this same issue and it shouldn't require someone "taking over" ownership for them to be able to make changes to it. Especially if they're the workspace admin...

This is very much needed to be able to have a multi-developer solution. It doesn't make any sense, why another developer should take over the dataflow just to be able to view the queries or copy them to own usage. To view the dataflow queries should be the at least possible without being the owner or taking over the whole dataflow.

The current need to takeover the dataflow is most upsetting, this would be really helpful and should be part of a multi-developer environment strategy.

This is essential functionality. Having only one person able to do a thing is bad for lots of reasons related to business continuity and support etc.

Absolutly vital to allow groups to edit a workflow.

"Needs more votes". No, it doesn't. This is objectively wrong.

RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins

Shared with my org to try to bolster some more votes here. Honestly, this shouldn't even really be something that needs votes. This should just be a "let's think about how our customers are going to use what we've created and add the appropriate features".Data flows are incredibly useful for sharing data - just need to be able to share ownership as well.

RE: Share Dataflow Ownership with Workspace Admins

This is a good idea as we are currently in a situation that a dataflow owner has left the company. The account is disabled, before we had change the owner to an active collegue. Now we have dataflows that can't be refreshed and edited anymore, forcing us to recreate them and change all related reports.
