Power BI Workspace with name "SharePoint List - <ID>"

Hi All,

 

We are migrating Power BI Reports from one tenant to another, as part of inventory analysis we found group workspace with name "SharePoint List - <ID>" and description as "SharePoint List Folder". We are not able to find the group with workspace id and was not able to access the workspace. We Were not able to find the users who have access to it.

 

Attaching group details we can see from the portal,Could you provide any solution  to get access to the workspace.

 

Thanks

Hi  @Poweradminjohn ,

Update:

After research, there is one of them created for each list that is visualized in sharepoint. these workspaces do not belong to any actual user in the customer's tenant, they are created for a service principal for the list.

Hi  @Poweradminjohn ,

Find the workspaces option in Admin portal, select Access, add your account as admin, you can see the User inside.
