Power BI Copilot - Workspace

[KarimMomo]

Hi, 

I can't seem to select a workspace to link it to Copilot. Clicking on the link doesn't do anything. I have reviewed all of the minimum requirements and I'm good on all of them: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/copilot-introduction

can you assist me on this ?

Thank you

Hi @KarimMomo 

If you are unable to select a workspace to link to Copilot in Microsoft Fabric, here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Verify Capacity and Licensing:
• Ensure your workspace is assigned to a paid Fabric capacity (F64 or higher) or Power BI Premium capacity (P1 or higher). Copilot is not supported on trial SKUs​ (
• Confirm that your tenant or capacity is within a supported region. If it is outside the US or France, you might need to enable a specific setting to allow data to be processed outside your geographic region​
2. Admin Settings:
• Your Fabric tenant admin must enable Copilot in the Fabric admin portal. Ensure that the relevant tenant switch is enabled before you start using Copilot.
3. Permissions:
• Make sure you have the necessary permissions. You need admin, member, or contributor access to at least one workspace that supports Copilot
4. Check for Errors:
• If the workspace selection dialog does not appear or shows an error, it might indicate that none of your workspaces have the right capacity​.

If everything is fine and still you can't get the access, open a ticket with Microsoft:
