Give Full Control over Datasets to Application roles not working

Hi

I am trying to make sure, that all of our datasets can be edited by all users, who has the "Modeler" application role, as it is only the BI team who has that…

But for some reason, when I add the Modeler application role to a datasets access menu and give them full control, nothing happens… No user, that has the role, are able to see the dataset at all… Same goes for "Functional adm", "Modeler adm" and "Service adm".

But when I add the Author or Consumer Appliaction Role and grant it full control, everythings works fine - the user with that role, gets access and are able to edit the dataset.

Why is that? Is there something I'm missing in the setup of the roles?

We definetely don't want either Consumers or Authors to be able to edit datasets, that we are responsible for and use for reports across the business, therefore I think it would make sense to use one of the adminstrator application roles for this matter.

Hope someone here has a bigger understanding of why, than me, and how to solve it ☺️

    As per my understanding, The Modeler, Functional Administrator, Modeler Administrator, and Service Administrator roles are administrative roles meant for managing the overall analytics environment, metadata, and administration. It is not necessarily for direct dataset access or editing by default.

    You can create a Custom Role that combines Modeler and Author Privileges

    • Clone the Modeler role and explicitly add the Author (or necessary BI content access) privileges.
    • Assign this combined role to your BI team so they get admin capabilities plus dataset authoring/editing.

    Hope it helps!
