Hi @Anonymous ,

According to this document,https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-premium-capacity-manage#:~:text=Capacity%20Admins%20cannot%20access%20workspace%20content%20unless%20explicitly,to%20create%20new%20capacities%20or%20scale%20existing%20capacities. 

Capacity Admins cannot access workspace content unless explicitly assigned in workspace permissions. They also don't have access to all Power BI admin areas (unless explicitly assigned) such as usage metrics, audit logs, or tenant settings. Importantly, Capacity Admins do not have permissions to create new capacities or scale existing capacities. Admins are assigned on a per capacity basis, ensuring that they can only view and manage capacities to which they are assigned

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!
