Workpace - AD security groups not working for new workspaces
Hi Anonymous ,
Based on the information you have provided, you assign roles to the security group but members of the security group do not have access to the workspace. You can troubleshoot the issue by following these steps:
- Ensure that the security group in question is an email-enabled security group or a Microsoft 365 group, as Power BI workspace access relies on these types of groups.
- Verify that the AD security group membership is properly synchronised with Azure Active Directory. Changes to group membership in AD may take some time to be reflected in Azure AD, which in turn affects Power BI. due to a delay in the web page when assigning roles to groups. You can try refreshing the page.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Best Regards,
Ada Wang

Is there a way to confirm this? As Microsoft documentation does not specify this limitation. According to this documentation - (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/fundamentals/give-access-workspaces)
Enter name or email, select a role, and select Add. You can add security groups, mail-enabled security groups, distribution lists, Microsoft 365 groups, or individuals to these workspaces as admins, members, contributors, or viewers. If you have the member role, you can only add others to the member, contributor, or viewer roles.Is there a way to confirm this? As Microsoft documentation does not specify this limitation.
