Power BI Publish Rights

[Jeffrey Mahoney]

Somewhat new to Power BI here. I have Power BI desktop. I've been given a weekly task to get a report into Excel, then publish that data into the Company Teams/Power BI site. The two people that are owners of the site have forgotten how to give me Admin Rights or Ownership so I can publish the data. Can somebody explain the steps. I've tried creating a workspace in the Desktop version and online.

The owners can manage permissions in the workspace. They have to make you administrator (or contributor) too

But how exactly? Can you post some screenshots?

I don’t have a pc atm. In a workspace at power bi service there is a button called manage permissions or manage acces ( or something alike).

In Power BI online, there will be a Workspaces item in the menu on the left. Clicking on that will bring up a list of the workspaces they have access to. When hovering over one in the list, to the right of it they will see a Pin icon and an ellipsis. Clicking the ellipsis will bring up the menu for Workspace Access (and Workspace settings), which will allow them to add you.

Thank you Rory, it worked.
