Git integration when Fabric disabled
- 6 months ago
Hi MDBI ,
Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.
One possible way to look at this is that the Git integration admin settings page is primarily describing Git integration in the context of Fabric workloads. In the documentation, the reference to the Fabric admin switch appears to apply to items such as Lakehouse, Warehouse, Notebooks, and Dataflows Gen2, where disabling Fabric at the tenant level would also prevent Git integration for those items.
Power BI items seem to be treated slightly differently. Git integration for Power BI reports and semantic models is documented as being tied to Premium capacity or a PPU license, and the Fabric creation setting is not explicitly listed as a prerequisite. This could explain why Git integration continues to be available for Power BI items even when the “Users can create Fabric items” setting is turned off.
That said, since this distinction is not clearly spelled out in the documentation, if you need an official confirmation on whether this behavior is fully supported or subject to change, raising a Microsoft support ticket would be the best way to get a definitive clarification from the product team.

Hope this helps. Please reach out for further assistance.
Thank you.
I think your confusion comes from second documentation but if you have premium capacity then you can use Fabric features - bascially a P1 can support all the features of F64 including git integration.

Right, but can I use Git integration when the “Users can create Fabric items” setting is turned off?

No! you need it to be enabled!

And yet, it works for me with the setting disabled... That is why I created this post: to hear what others have observed in practice, not in theory. If you disable “Users can create Fabric items” having "Users can synchronize workspace items with their Git repositories" enabled, what do you see: Git integration option in workspace settings is greyed out, invisible or do you get an error message when trying to connect it to a Git repository?
