AssignWorkspaces to an embedded capacity

Hey guys,

Just wondering if you guys have any adivse for me, we're getting ready to run all of our Personal workspaces (35K) to an embedded A-SKU to limit the usage or disable.  We have a separate process to go through Team workspaces and only enable Personal workspace as requested.  I am able to test run this API "admin/capacities/AssignWorkspaces"  but just not sure how to handle such a big volume. There's no known limitations mentioned in the document.  Is it better to run 'em all once or loop it thru For-Each workspace?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @pvuppala ,

 

There two ways to assign capacity:in the admin portal; and from a workspace. In your case, please use in admin portal.

Worlspace -> Type = Personal Group -> select all -> Capacity.

But you can only set up to a maximum of one hundred at a time via Items per page 100.

Configure and manage capacities in Power BI Premium - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

 

Or you can export the personal list by Export icon and use REST API Admin - Capacities AssignWorkspacesToCapacity to assign capacity.
