Deploy model to Power BI Workspace from Visual Studio 2017
Hi all,
Recently, the XMLA endpoints Read/Write capability was released into preview for Premium Capacity workspaces. See the video here.
As I was trying out this new feature, I wanted to try and deploy an existing level 1500 Tabular Model currently hosted in Azure Analysis Services. However, after following these instructions I am prompted with a error.
Cannot deploy metadata. Reason: This operation is not supported by the Power BI Premium product.
What could be the problem here?
Alright, so after explaining the new possibilities to a collegae I noticed something. When going through the tenant capacity settings (https://app.powerbi.com/admin-portal/capacities/) the XMLA-endpoint was still "read" instead of "Read Write".
So the solution was to change the settings, and scroll down and hit "Apply".
nickyvv Thanks for your article, going through it once more solved the problem.

I found a blog post by nickyvv on the very same subject.
At the end of the blog post it mentions some important points to go over:
- Go read the documentation first ✓
- Enable Read Write for XMLA Endpoints at your Premium Capacity ✓
- Enable the Export data setting in the Power BI Admin Portal ✓
- Make sure your localhost is compat level 1500 or use the Integrated Workspace Mode ✓
- Delete any role memberships in your model during the public preview ✓
- A write operation on a dataset will prevent it from being downloaded back as a PBIX file N/A
- Did I already mention it is still a preview feature? 🙂
