Created Workspaces no longer showing
- 5 months ago
Hello martinnilsson,
This does not look like a Microsoft-wide outage. The combination of missing workspaces, “App workspace creation is disabled,” and a 401 (Unauthorized) error strongly indicates a tenant-level configuration or licensing change.
A 401 means the user is authenticated but not authorized to perform the action.
Please have your Power BI / Fabric Admin check the following:
Tenant Settings
Go to Admin Portal → Tenant settings → Workspace settings
Verify that “Create workspaces (new workspace experience)” is enabled.
If restricted to specific security groups, confirm users are still members of the allowed group.Licensing / Capacity
In Microsoft 365 Admin Center confirm:Power BI Pro licenses are still assigned
Fabric trial has not expired
Premium / Fabric capacity has not been removed or reassigned
If capacity or licensing changed, workspace visibility and creation rights can be affected for all users.
Tenant confirmation
Ensure users are signed into the correct organization tenant.
Based on the error pattern and cluster URI, this is almost certainly a tenant governance or licensing configuration issue rather than a regional service outage.
Adding to the original, this is the message when I try create a new Workspace.
