Assign V-CORES to Workspace
My apologies, my company just purchase Power BI Premium P1 V-Cores 8, Is it possible to assign Cores to each workspace?
We have the following workspace.
- PRD Workspace Assign V-Cores(4)
- TEST Workspace Assign V-Cores(2)
- DEV Workspace Assign V-Cores(2)
- QA Workspace Assign V-Cores(2)
Is that possible?
Thank you in advance.

Sorta - but you may not be able to split out the V-cores as you have described.
First you'll go to the Power BI Admin menu and setup your Premium Capacity. You add the V-cores to each capacity.

From my experience - you can typically only select 8 v-cores as your minimum - based on the selections in the capacity size drop down menu. I'm not sure if you go fewer than 8 for the P SKUs.
Once your capacity is setup - then you add your workspaces to that capacity. So you would be able to add all 4 workspaces to the same capacity.
If after monitoring the capacity usage - you find that having all 4 workspaces in the same capacity is consuming too much available memory - you'll have to consider splitting them out or upgrading your SKU in order to add more V-cores.
