Programmatically assign Capacity Contributors

Hey team,

Is there an ETA for supporting Fabric Capacity Contributor assignment via API?

The Capacity Contributor permission is critical for organizations that want to give end users the ability to create workspaces and assign Fabric capacity — without granting full Capacity Admin permissions. This is an important permission boundary that many customers rely on for least-privilege access models.

However, based on my current understanding, the API only supports assigning Admin permissions. Assigning the Contributor role is currently only possible through the Fabric Admin Console, which introduces two significant pain points:

  • Operational overhead — It requires manual effort from Fabric admin teams for every new Fabric capacity.
  • Limited automation — It blocks the ability to set up and manage Fabric environments programmatically at scale.

Supporting Capacity Contributor assignment via API would unlock fully automated Fabric provisioning workflows and reduce the administrative burden on platform teams.

Would love to hear if this is on the roadmap!
