Fabric workspace git integration

Hello Fabrican's, If the workspace is assigned as a Fabric workspace, why does it display the message 'You need a Premium license for this workspace to continue' when attempting Git integration? ...

    shashiPaul1570_    Apparently, when we try to configure settings by clicking the three dots next to the workspace, we get an error saying, "You need a Premium license for this workspace to continue.".

    However, when we open the workspace and attempt to assign it from there, the error doesn't appear. Seems like a UI bug.

Hi Rahel,

That banner appears when the workspace isn’t on a qualifying capacity for Git (or tenant Git is disabled).

What’s required:

  1. Capacity

  • Fabric Git integration needs the workspace on Fabric capacity (F-SKU). Power BI Premium capacity can work, but some SKUs only support Power BI items—not all Fabric items. A Pro (non-capacity) workspace will show the “need Premium” message. 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/cicd/git-integration/git-get-started?utm_source=chatgpt.com&tabs=azure-devops%2CAzure%2Ccommit-to-git

 

  • Microsoft also notes you must have a valid Premium license/capacity to connect to repos. Microsoft Learn

  1. Admin/Tenant switches

  1. Permissions

  • You must be Workspace Admin, and the target workspace must have capacity (no template apps). 

Quick checks

  • Workspace → Settings → Premium/Fabric: it should show Assigned to capacity: Fxx (not Pro).

  • Admin portal → Tenant settings → Git integration: enabled.

  • Try again from the workspace’s Git integration pane.

If your workspace is on PPU or Pro, switch it to an F-SKU capacity, or use a Premium capacity that supports the items you’re trying to version. That removes the banner.

 

Hope this helps! If it does, a Kudos and Accepted Solution would be awesome.

 

Thanks
