Adding Guest users to Fabric Capacity
Hi sinhashlok ,
Great questions — here's how it works:
Yes, the client can create a workspace under their F16 Fabric capacity and assign you (as guest users) as admins. As long as the workspace is backed by the Fabric capacity, you’ll be able to use Fabric features like pipelines, notebooks, lakehouses, etc. — even without a license on your side.
For you to create new workspaces, the client would need to give you the right permissions at the tenant or capacity level. Being a guest doesn’t block this, but they need to explicitly allow it (e.g. via Azure AD roles or Power BI admin settings).
Also, make sure the workspace is actually assigned to the F16 capacity — if it still shows as PPU, it might not be linked correctly.
Let me know if you want help checking the workspace settings or capacity assignment!
