Get-PowerBICapacity Doesn't Work

[mbutler71]

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.

I have the issue too: 

Get-PowerBICapacity : Login first with Login-PowerBIServiceAccount
At line:5 char:1
+ Get-PowerBICapacity -Scope Individual

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).

Hey @mbutler71 ,

Seems to be working fine for me. What error are you receiving?
