Hi bhavana_dfz,

 

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

 

Even if you're using a Premium or Premium Per User (PPU) workspace and are the admin, it's essential to ensure that the workspace is explicitly assigned to an active capacity. Simply being labeled as Premium/PPU doesn't guarantee XMLA endpoint access—check under the workspace settings to confirm it's tied to a valid capacity like P1 or a PPU license. If it's running on shared (Pro) capacity, the XMLA endpoint won't work even if all tenant settings are correctly enabled.

 

Also, in a Microsoft Fabric environment, make sure the capacity itself is not paused or overutilized, as that will block XMLA connectivity. Go to the Admin portal > Capacity settings > Fabric Capacity and check the status. Trial capacities like F64 Trial might also introduce inconsistent behavior, so using a fully provisioned capacity is recommended for reliable XMLA endpoint access.
