I am using the C# API to create new groups. When it comes to the step of assigning the created group to an capacity I get an "unauthorized" response. When using the PowerBi Webfrontend (https://app.powerbi.com) I am able to assign the group to the capacity.
What permission do I need to be able to assign the capacity using the API?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Currently, through the Power BI portal, a workspace admin with capacity assignment permissions can access Edit Workspace and choose a capacity to assign to a workspace. The new Assign to Capacity API replicates this behavior. The API can be used to assign the workspace, unassign it, or move between capacities.
