Error assigning premium capacity to workspace - PowerBINotAuthorizedException
Greg_Deckler Anonymous : Thank you all for the response. I have successfully resolved the issue by ensuring that the premium capacity had the necessary contributor permissions. After doing so, my Python code was able to assign the capacity. I would like to express my thank you to you both.
Screenshot attached here :
To assign the necessary permissions, go to Power BI Admin, navigate to Capacity, and select the Premium Capacity and then go to the Contributor option. In this step, make sure to specify the correct security group name, as we had security groups in place..
In the future, if anyone works with a Service Principal Admin, I would recommend considering this parameter as well.
Thank you!
Yes I can but in my code im using service principle to assign capacity. This service principle has Capacity.Readwrite.All and Workspace.Readwrite.all API Permission and also it has been added to admin Security Groups. Im able to create Workspace using this service principle but not assign capacity.
Community ChampionIt seems from this that there is an a Capacity Assignment permission. It also specifies to use the service principal object ID: Move your Power BI embedded analytics app to production - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
Assign a workspace to a capacity by using a service principal
To assign a workspace to a capacity by using a service principal, use the Power BI REST API. When you're using the Power BI REST APIs, make sure to use the service principal object ID. The service principal should have administrator permissions for the workspace and capacity assignment permissions for the capacity.
