SQl Database Preview CheckBox
Hello SeattlePowerBI - I do see that SQL Databases (and a few other features) have the 'capacity admins can enable/disable' checked without the ability to uncheck it. I tested and have confirmed that capacity admins can enable this for all users in the respective capacity, even those that are not included in the security groups specified at the tenant level. I have submitted a ticket to get feedback on how this can be controlled.

I will try disabling this setting in tenant, unchecking the box, then enabling again with security groups. Unfortuantely, this creates a service disruption for exisiting users in those security groups. MS should fix by allowing checking / unchecking regardless. We missed the notification about this being enabled by default and now would like to remove it but can't without causing an issue for our Fabric user base.
You're absolutely right—this limitation in the current tenant setting behavior creates a real challenge for managing access cleanly. The fact that disabling the tenant-level setting causes a disruption for users already relying on SQL Database Preview is definitely not ideal, especially when the feature was enabled by default without clear notification.
It would be much more effective if Microsoft allowed toggling the "Fabric admins can create" checkbox independently of the tenant-level setting, or at least provided a graceful transition mechanism for existing users. Until then, the workaround you mentioned—temporarily disabling and re-enabling with scoped security groups—is the only viable path, albeit disruptive.
Hopefully, Microsoft will consider improving this experience in a future update. In the meantime, documenting this behavior internally and coordinating closely with tenant/global admins seems essential to avoid unexpected service interruptions.
I tried disabling these settings for the entire organization, but the checkbox is still grayed out and there does not appear to be a way to uncheck it. I will open a ticket
