Hello

I want to change the app owner as listed below in screenshot since this employee has already left the organization -

Any idea how do I change the owner above to my name?

Hi @vmakhija 

You need to take controle of the dataset and become the owner before updating the App. So basicaly you are going to need to Publish the dataset to your workspace and then publish a new App.

@aj1973 Taking owner does not require the dataset to be publsihed again, it can be done from setting section (Schedule Refresh) of dataset

@arvindsingh802 It can only be done if he logs in to John Doe's account. 

@vmakhija If you then are able to log in to his account then go to Workspace setting/Access and make yourself as admin of it. after that log in to your account and republish the workspace to the App. Your name will on the App.

Update the App, it will also update the App Owner

App Owner = Last Updated By

Is there a way we can add multiple owners to Power BI app instead of republishing app as different person?
