Description

Hi,

Currently it is a pain to use the existing UI on Power BI Service to manage long list of user permissions. In the Permissions tab during the app publish/update process, the user names are not sorted in any apparent order. When the user list gets long it is very very tedious to check if someone has been given access.

Ideally, a workspace admin should be able to use Powershell cmdlets to retrieve/update user permissions for a published app.

Regards
wilx

Review the repository’s existing PowerBI PowerShell cmdlets and patterns for workspace or app operations. Define how a workspace admin should retrieve and update permissions for a published app, then verify both operations against Power BI Service.
