Can different Power-BI (Embedded) Service Principal Profiles share Capacity among each other
Hey gabriel-mendes,
one SPN with multiple profiles, one for each customer. Each customer has its own workspace; all workspaces are assigned to the same capacity.
You (the human)
- manage the SPN
- you manage the capacity
- you manage the Power BI tenant
Everything works as you mentioned.

Tom
Hey gabriel-mendes ,
the simple answer is: yes.
A capacity can be considered as a some kind of computer that is able to allocate its resources to the demand raised by different users (the service principals).
I think, it's mandatory to clarify what you mean by "multi-tenant solution", my assumption, you are designing/building a solution that will be used by different clients and you want/have to separate data between these clients.
But there is only one Power BI tenant, run by your organization. This is important because there is this kind of hierarchy
... --> 1 workspace * --> 1 capacity * --> 1 Power BI tenant
Hopefully, this provides what you are looking for.

Hi TomMartens
Many thanks for your answer, this is already very helpful!
In terms of multi-tenant, I refer to multiple customers (tenants) in our system.
- We plan to have 1 service principal.
- Then, this service principal will have multiple profiles per customer.
- Each profile will have a workspace and a data source within.
As I understand, this means I can create 1 capacity and assign all the workspaces to this capacity and manage the capacity centrally (no need to increase/decrease capacity for each tenant, I can just manage one object).
