An analyst with the Contributor role tries to publish a brand-new app from a workspace and finds the Publish app command is unavailable. Which role grants the least privilege required to publish a new app?

  • AAssign the analyst the Contributor role on the workspace.
  • BAssign the analyst the Member role on the workspace. Correct
  • CAssign the analyst the Viewer role on the workspace.
  • DAssign the analyst a tenant-level Power BI admin role to publish the app.
Member is the least-privileged workspace role that can publish or unpublish an app for the first time. The workspace role matrix shows that publishing, unpublishing, and changing permissions for an app is a Yes for Admin and Member only. Contributors can update an app when explicitly delegated, but cannot publish the first version.

Why A is wrong: Contributors can update an app only if a workspace Admin has delegated update rights; they cannot create or publish an app for the first time.

Why B is correct: Correct. The workspace role matrix shows that publishing, unpublishing, and changing permissions for an app is a Yes for Admin and Member only.

Why C is wrong: Viewers can only read and interact with items; they have no app-publishing capability whatsoever.

Why D is wrong: Tenant admin roles oversee policy; they are not the least privilege for publishing an app from a single workspace.
