Deployment Pipelines: Let all owners deploy datasets

We ran into issues when trying to deploy dataset changes from test to production in the deployment pipeline (the error: got stuck with an endless "deployment in progress" animation and deployment never finished. Using Fiddler I could record a "NotTargetDatasetsOwner" error).

Feedback from Microsoft support concludes that it has to be the same account that has configured the dataset in the Power BI service that deploys the dataset from test to production.

This is a major limitation to our way of working since we are a team collaborating and evolving datasets over time. I suggest that all users that have owner rights to a dataset should be able to deploy a new version of it (but keeping the configuration settings), just as any one with owner rights can publish and overwrite a new version of a dataset from desktop to a PBI Service workspace with configuration settings in PBI service intact.

RE: Deployment Pipelines: Let all owners deploy datasets

...and if you don't accept this idea, at least provide an error message stating that "Only the account who configured the dataset in the target workspace can overwrite the dataset".
