Fabric capacity metrics - who is the owner of specific item?

[nandic]

Hi,

Earlier, we used premium capacity. Now, we usefabric capacity. I am fabric capacity admin. 
Today i was checking capacity and saw that there are couple of items within someone's "My workspace", which use old (expired) premium capacity.

I went to admin portal > workspaces and saw that all personal workspaces belong to old premium capacity. So i "moved" all to fabric capacity.

However, is there any possibility to find who is the owner of specific item?
I don't have access to personal workspace, but as fabric capacity admin, i suppose there should be a nice way to find who is consuming resources and to contact that person to disable/pause, or if it is for production, to move it to shared workspace.

Is there a way to get information who is the owner of specific item?

In addition, if it is using P2 capacity which expired, how it even works? I expected some errors, notifications... but no, it works, refreshes data, like everything is normal?

Thanks in advance,
Nemanja

@tayloramy thank you, that solved the issue!
Easier than expected.
Earlier i was drilling to timepoint details, but for this specific case nothing was shown there. However, when i changed to "logarithmic" view, values were shown and i could drill to a user level.

Thank you very much!

Glad I could help. 

Capacity Metrics is a very useful tool 🙂

The real time capacity metrics events that are scheduled for public preview according to the roadmap are also very useful tools, can't wait until we can actually talk about it.

Hi @AntoineW  and @tayloramy ,

Thank you for your suggestions. 
In admin portal i can give myself permission to user's "My Workspace", but there are hundreds of users in the company.

And my main issue is to see which user is using this item in his/her workspace.

If i run power shell script to go over each workspace and find this specific item, it returns only results for workspaces i have access to.

So possible steps would be:
1) grant myself permissions to all personal workspaces (via script if possible) and then search in which one is this specific item
2) remove myself from all personal workspaces except mine (via script if possible)

Alternative, send email to all users, asking who is using this item 🙂 

Hope to test this in a few days. 

Cheers,
Nemanja

Hi @nandic, 

I don't think you can use a script to add yourself to all personal workspaces, and you very much don't want to. If you have two users with the same name, you will end up with access to two workspaces with the same name, and that breaks everything (at least it did when I accidently added myself to two personal workspaces for users that had the same name) 

If you drill through in Capacity Metrics to the timepoint details, you should be able to see the user ID that ran the item

Does this work for you? 

For example, I can see all thse eventstreams that I am the user for:

Hi @nandic, 

The best way to see who the owner is would be with the admin APIs. Try Items - Get Item - REST API (Admin) | Microsoft Learn

Also, if you are the Fabric Administrator, you can grant yourself access to personal workspaces as @AntoineW mentioned above. IF you're only the Capacity Administrator however, you won't be able to do that.

Yes, in the portal admin, you have the workspace rubric at the left panel, select it and if you click on each personal workspaces, you can find who has access by clicling on "Get Access".

Hope it can help you!

Best regards,
