Currently, at my company, we have several PowerBI reports we build for internal use. We would like to know what are the "best practices" to follow regarding these aspects:
These aspects should be kept in mind especially for cases when the person who is in charge of these matters leaves the company and another teammate must take over this responsability.
Thanks in advance.

When you publish report from power bi desktop to power bi service, you need to sign in your power bi account which can also be used to sign in power bi service. So as you said, yes, it's under a "specific user". However, you can share contents with others in power bi service if you are pro user.
Yes, the data gateway also need the power bi account. When you install the data gateway, you need to sign in your account. However, in power bi service, you can click "Manage gateway" then select a gateway cluster and assign other users in your group as a gateway admin, after that, other people can also configure data source in the same domain(using gateway, we can connect to data source in your company domain).
It depends on your senario, you can assign specific users with admin pricileges so that they can modify the content(like schedule refresh) in the workspace. Also you can assign them with members and contributors if your workspace is a new workspace, please refer to diagram below:
Capability | Admin | Member | Contributor |
---|---|---|---|
Update and delete the workspace. | X | ||
Add/remove people, including other admins. | X | ||
Add members or others with lower permissions. | X | X | |
Publish and update an app. | X | X | |
Share an item or share an app. | X | X | |
Allow others to reshare items. | X | X | |
Create, edit, and delete content in the workspace. | X | X | X |
Publish reports to the workspace, delete content. | X | X | X |

It depends on your senario, usually, user who create/publish report has an access to the data source.
