I have noticed that the datasets in the Admin Monitoring workspace are not refreshing, with the following message: "The credentials provided for the AdminInsights source are invalid. (Source at AdminInsights.). The exception was raised by the IDbCommand interface."
I have seen this issue posted before but am not clear on the steps to resolve it. Does the workspace need to be reinitialized via the REST API? And if so, does it matter if the person accessing the workspace the next time is a guest in the tenant?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @CoulterJames2,
as the admin workspace is mostly "read only" I recommend initialize it again like in the docs written:
What is the admin monitoring workspace? - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
As long as you have the admin role, it shall not matter if you are a guest or not according to the documention.
Hope this helps!
Best regards!
