    It would be great if there was an option to tranfer ownership of created reports and dashboards. This way, work would not have to be duplicated if the original creator was to leave the company/change roles/etc.

    RE: Transfer of ownership of created dashboards

    Yes, also wondering when this will be completed. Groups is always an option, but as a Power BI change agent within a company, one of my self-created roles is in developing better analytical tools for others and then handing them off to the business to maintain and improve. This is becoming more and more frustrating of a process each time as more people are adopting the tool before it is officially handed over, meaning an awkward transition of "No, delete that dashboard. No, the other one. Yes, I am going to have him share it with you. OK well if you had it bookmarked like that then you will have to change the bookmark. Yes, yes, I know you just got used to it...." etc.

    Please help me.

    What is the status? Will it be completed this year? Anyone from Microsoft reading our comments here?

    RE: Transfer of ownership of created dashboards

    We run into a common situation that someone left the company and PowerBI assets (data, report, dashboard) is only accessible under that person's user account. Definitely a need to have the ability to transfer the whole account to another user.

    RE: Transfer of ownership of created dashboards

    This has been one feature that has been holding us back from really rolling out the Power BI service. We need a way to transfer ownership for content created outside of a Group or Content pack as people leave/transition out of roles.
