Get-PowerBICapacity Doesn't Work

Has anybody gotten this to work in PowerShell?

$caps = Get-PowerBICapacity -Scope Organization;

I've tried with my account, I'm a Capacity Admin, a service principal, and a generic account that has been added to the Capacity admins and contributors. 

Thanks for any insight.

    Hey kerski,

    You have to login first before you can run the command. So your Power Shell should look like this:

    Login-PowerBIServiceAccount 
Get-PowerBICapacity -Scope Individual

     This is as long as you are using the regular public enivronment for Power BI (Non-government cloud).
