Why cant I see Workspaces for which I am Owner

[jerics99]

I have just taken over as Owner of seven O365 groups to handle the administration of the related Workspaces (same names as the O365 groups). I can only see one of the workspaces when logging in to my organizations Power BI instance. For the work space that I can see I am both Owner and Member of the O365 group. For the 6 workspaces I currently can't see I am only Owner.

My questions: Do I have to become Member of the O365 groups in order to actually see the workspaces, It seems like beeing Owner is not enough? (I can see that the previous person maneging POwer BI at the organization was both Owner and Member of goups)

Where on the web can I read about the differences of the Owner and Admin roles, can anyone share a link please?

Hi,

For your issue, if you are only Owner, you can not access the workspace unless you become the Member of this workspace.

Owner can add or remove Member but if you want to collaborate with others in workspace, you should become the workspace's Member which you want to access.
