Hi,

First note that a workbook is not child resource of Log Analytics workspace. Workbook is standalone resource. You can assign Workbook Contributor on the workbook or on the resource group where the workbook is located in. Note that in order for the end user to see the data in the workbook it needs permissions corresponding to the data the workbook is accessing in. So if the workbook has queries towards Log Analytics workspace the end user will need Monitoring reader on that workspace.

I tried as per your suggestion but user cannot edit the workbook. When they press save, it prompts for a location to save the workbook, instead of doing an in-place save.

If you have the correct permissions that should not happen. Either you haven't assigned the permissions correctly or you are trying to do something like editing the built-in workbooks. Those cannot be overwritten. You can edit it and save it as a new workbook.

Thank you! Assigning Workbook Contributor on the resource group where the workbook is located in. Earlier, I tried it on Workbook itself.
