Hi
Microsoft Fabric Capacity Management Approaches
Here are the most common industry practices for fabric capacity management:
Centralized IT Management: This is the most common approach and aligns with your current implementation. The IT department is responsible for all Fabric Capacity management and this:
Provides consistent governance
Optimizes the cost of capacities
Reduces security risks
Hybrid Model: Some organizations delegate certain capacity management functions to business units, while administrative rights remain with IT:
Capacity Assignment Administrator role can be given to LOB users
This role can manage capacity without granting full administrative rights
They can perform tasks such as resource allocation and workspace assignment
Business Unit Leadership: In this less common model, business units manage their own capacity:
Typically subject to central IT policies
Business units should have their own IT experts
A more agile but riskier approach
The best solution for your organization may be to continue your practice of keeping admin roles in the IT department, but offering more limited management capabilities to business unit users:
Fabric Workspace Administrator role (more limited than a full administrator role)
Fabric Capacity Assignment Administrator role
Custom-defined RBAC (Role Based Access Control) configuration
Most organizations in the Microsoft community prefer to keep most administrative functions in IT, while giving limited authority to business units for day-to-day operational tasks.
