Power BI Pipelines give someone privileges to create Premium Capacity app workspace

Only our Premium Capacity admin can create Premium capacity Workspaces

 

When you are creating Pipelines you create the new new premium Capacity workspaces as you go (e.g test and Production) and at the moment this wont work because you cant create them without being a capacity admin

 

We have to ask out Capacity admin to set up all the pipelines at the moment.

 

Is there anyway you can give someone privileges for a short time to create the Premium capacity workspaces so this activity doesnt get bottlenecked?

 

thanks in advance

I have found the answer

users with capacity Assignment permissions on the Premium capacity Node

 

they dont have access to Admin Portal but they can create Premium Capacity workspaces

@DebbieE  happy you found this option.

Another thing that may make life easier is that when a user tries to deploy from Dev to Test without permissions on a capacity,

the deployment will not be completed, but an empty WS will be created.

That is intentional, so that user can reach out to whoever has permissions, and ask him to assign that WS to capacity.

once that is done, the next deployment will succeed.

 

It might be easier than asking the same person/s to build all the pipelines the organization needs.
