Is it possible to move personal workspace to premium capacity using service principal in powershell, here i am using power shell script for moving and i am getting unauthorised error. Which permission i need to move personal workspace to premium. please send me the userfull article.Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous , You can add a Personal Workspace to Premium in the Admin Portal. 

I would however suggest to rather make use of a 'normal' workspace and grant only yourself access to it (will work exactly the same as your My Workspace then). 

Moving personal workspaces to premium causes issues if someone leaves the orginization. If you want add someone to your workspace to collaberate and the list goes on.

Agreed. My Workspace is not suitable for collaboration work.

And you need to be Capacity admin to assign your workspace to Premium Capacity.

This may not entirely solve your problem, but I hope it will give you some ideas. If use Powr BI Rest API, you can use Service Principal to call it. You may need the same setup.
