Gaining access to a workspace when the admin is unavailable to give access

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

I am looking to find out if there is a workaround or way to be added to a PowerBI workspace if the person who owns it isn't available to give access right now.

Thank you.

@Anonymous Mainly there are two ways to access the powerbi dashboard. 

1) Owner publish the dashboard to his personal workspace and then he/she share it with users

2) Ownder publish it to a premium workspace and anyone who wants access for it they request role in their profile and get access to it. In this case if there are multiple co-owners then one of them should be able to grant accesss

Finally, it is the ower who decide who should have access to the dashboard or content due to security reasons. If the owner is not availble then other can't grant access for data security reasons.

Further if receipents has "accesss to allow receipents to share the dashboard" further then other users can share it with you. Below is the screenshot where that access is given.

You can go through below link on how to Share Power BI dashboards and reports with coworkers and others
