    simsta You can set workspace level permissions via Admin, Member or Contributor roles and that gives you access to every item of content in that workspace. Viewer allows read access to every item in the workspace. Or you can set individual permissions on specific items within the workspace. If you have the Fabric Admin role within Azure AD, you have access to everything and can use the REST API to list out every workspace and items within those workspaces

    simsta If you have the Fabric Admin role then yes, otherwise, no.
