GITHUB integration with cross client

Hii santhoshkasam 

This is possible if the GitHub account used for the connection has access to the other client’s repository.

Steps:

1. Enable Git integration and GitHub integration in the Fabric Admin portal.
2. Open the workspace and go to Workspace settings > Git integration > GitHub.
3. Select Add account, enter the GitHub PAT with repository Contents read/write permission, and provide the repository URL.
4. Select the required branch and folder, then click Connect and sync.

You must be a workspace Admin, the workspace must use a supported capacity, and the other client’s GitHub organization may need to approve the token or access request.

Yes, it's possible, but it depends on the permissions and tenant policies configured by both organizations.

Power BI (Microsoft Fabric) Git integration doesn't require the Git repository to belong to the same Microsoft Entra ID tenant as the Fabric workspace. However, the account or service principal used for the Git connection must have the necessary permissions to both the Power BI workspace and the GitHub repository.

To make this work:

• Ensure Git integration is enabled by your Power BI/Fabric administrator.

• Add the user (or service principal, if supported) as a member/admin of the Power BI workspace.

• Grant the same identity the appropriate permissions (typically Write/Maintain or Admin) on the target GitHub repository.

• If the GitHub repository belongs to another client, that client must invite your identity as a collaborator or grant access through their GitHub organization.

• Configure the Git connection from the workspace settings by selecting GitHub as the provider and authenticating with an account that has access to both resources.

Also, verify that neither organization's security policies (such as Conditional Access, cross-tenant access settings, or Git integration restrictions) prevent connecting to external repositories.
