How to get a notification when a workspace admin changes a workspace from pro to premium capacity?

Hi,

My team administrates Power BI Service capacities for different departments. We have a self-serve model. As such, some people in other departments are workspace admins of their related workspace (e.g some Finance employees are Admins for their workspace). 
Unfortunately, I know that workspace admins cannot be restricted from switching to Premium according to another discussion.

However, I'd like to know if there's a way to get notifications when workspaces are added to a premium capacity? 

Thanks!

    You need to standardize your platform otherwise you will end up with issues. I work for one of the leading US based life sciences company.

    We don't provide direct access to any teams to workspace creation access, gateway connections,assigning workspaces to premium(capacity owner approval is required), fabric item creator access. And we have data gateways across the world for reliable connections and based on data source location we set-up the connections. And we will followup with capacity owners if we found any continuous overloads on the capacities.

     

    I hope it helps.

     

    Thanks,

    So would you recommend setting up a Power Automate flow that runs a Powershell script using the Power BI REST API to check if any new workspaces have been added?

      No, you run daily scheduled powershell scripts with a real scheduler, and then store the received JSON in your audit log database of choice. Power Automate cannot handle Powershell scripts, and it cannot handle the file sizes.  You need real tools for that.

        I used Power Automate Desktop In combination of Power Automate Web to automate a Powershell Script in a server though. Either way, thanks for your response!
