It would be great if workspace administrators in Power BI could authorize viewer & app users to refresh the data set. This would allow authorized users to refresh the data if necessary.

RE: Data refresh "Refresh Now" for viewer & app user

This something that drives me crazy - I have managers asking me to run a manual refresh, because they have made multiple changes to sales pipelines and need to see the impact immediately due to an upcoming call. I already have the latest refresh time/date stamped on each report, and have a manual refresh button - but the only person this works for is me. Being able to authorise specific users to run the refresh would speed up the process for the managers and give me some time back!

It will strain the resources of the Premium capacity because any viewer can refresh the dataset.
