PowerBi Service Dataflow doesn't allow me to have another admin to modify it

[Anonymous]

I have created a dataflow and I am leaving the company for another opportunity. I gave Admin Access to one of my colleague but we figured out that when he want to modify the dataflow, he doesn't have the permission.  It is weird since he has a admin access...

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Hi， @Anonymous 

There is only  one owner of a dataflow, which means that if you are not the owner you cannot work on the dataflow.

As mentioned by @lbendlin ,if you are not the owner and you are a Workspace admins or member you can take over ownership to work on the flow by going to Settings(In the top menu bar)> settings->Dataflows-> 'Take over'.

By the way,when you take over the Dataflow, you may also need to reset the Gateway.

Your colleague needs to actively "take over" the dataflow, in the settings section.
