Apologies if I'm looking over something obvious, but I've been trying to figure out how to create a traditinal Team (e.g. Group, accessible from the Teams desktop app with channels, posts, etc.) but it also appear as a Workspace in the PBI service so I can publish to it. It seems this used to be the default behavior but it's been changed/decoupled and now I can't find clear guidance on how to do this. Does anyone have any insight? Thanks!
Hi @wbhite ,
Through my tests, after Power BI deprecates classic workspaces, creating a team doesn't automatically generate workspaces.
When you create a Microsoft/Office 365 group in the Microsoft 365 admin center, select the Create a team for this group option. The corresponding team is then built in the team. Add members to Microsoft/Office 365 groups. Then manually create a workspace, and the group will be assigned the workspace role (at least the Contributor role before users can upload reports) and a workspace OneDrive.
