orphaned workspaces with API
Thank you very much Evelyn!!
If i understand well what you said,
your test tells that the workspace is still active, but orphaned because there is no administrator in this workspace?
Hi Anonymous ,
I have found the following descriptions for the states:
- Active – A regular workspace that is available and accessible
- Deleted – A deleted workspace that still exists in the Power BI service
- Orphaned – A workspace without a user account with administrator permissions
- Removing – A deleted workspace marked for permanent removal
Based on it, I think orphaned workspace is still available and accessible, so it's reasonable that the Api returns "Active" state.
Refer to:
Power BI admin portal - Power BI | Microsoft Docs
Workspace Management in the Admin Portal | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI

Hi Anonymous ,
I have a test, it acted as the official document said, the state returned by Api is Active while the actual state is Orphaned:
So it‘s probably by design. I think it's reasonable since the workspace just doesn't have the Admin role.
