Member role balances invite rights with least privilege for the Sales group

Secure and govern Power BI items
Answer Correct answer: B — Member is the lowest workspace role that grants both access and the right to invite others.

You create a Power BI workspace named Workspace1. You publish a semantic model and a report to Workspace1. You need to configure Workspace1 to meet the following requirements: • Provide access to a group named Sales. • Ensure that Sales can invite other users to Workspace1. • Follow the principle of least privilege. Which role should you assign to Sales?

  1. Contributor
  2. Member Correct Answer

Community Insight

Contributor can build content but not manage permissions; Member is the lowest workspace role that can invite others and manage access — the least privilege that still satisfies the invite requirement.

Workspace1 must give the Sales group access plus the ability to invite other users, while honoring the principle of least privilege, so the lowest role carrying those rights must be chosen.

Defaulting to Admin for 'invite others' — Admin adds delete-workspace and membership-management powers far beyond what the requirements state, violating least privilege.

Why the Answer Is Correct

Workspace role documentation grants the Member role (B) the abilities to view, edit, publish, reshare content, and add or invite others to the workspace. Since the Sales group must access the workspace and invite other users, and no requirement mentions deleting the workspace or granting admin rights, Member is the lowest role covering every stated need — the definition of least privilege here.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Contributor (A) can view, edit, and publish content but cannot invite other users or manage permissions, missing the second requirement. Admin (C) can do everything Member can plus delete workspaces and manage all membership — more privilege than required. Viewer (D) is read-only, failing both the access-to-publish expectation and the invite requirement.

Community Comment Notes

A commenter distills the tie-breaker: members can reshare while contributors cannot, so Member is the least privilege meeting the invite requirement. Another rules out Viewer because inviting is impossible at that tier, leaving Member as the floor.
