how to test tenant-level configuration changes
Is there a way to test the impact of tenant-level configuration changes (e.g., disable public internet access) in a Power BI tenant without it affecting the entire tenant? In other words, is there a way to separate Dev / Test from Production for the Power BI tenant itself?
My organization needs to make some global configuration changes to our tenant, but we want to determine the impact of those changes before releasing them to Production. We need to do so because the Microsoft documentation about those changes is unclear.

Hi mr_wizard
There is no impact on the tenant. If you want to test the change every time you make it then do it one by one and test the outcome. All the sets in the Tenant configuration is well documented.
To separate Dev/Test/Prod you just need to create 3 WS and the Prod should only contain Thin Reports.
If you have premium capacity license the you can use Pipelines.

That is not what I'm asking. I'm asking about testing tenant-level changes (e.g., what functionality changes if we disable public internet access?), not report changes. So, workspaces and deployment pipelines are not the way to solve this. The reason why we need to test tenant-level changes is precisely because the MS documentation on them is unclear. From what I can find, there doesn't seem to be a way to test tenant-level changes.- aj1973

No there is no way to test a Tenant and honestly I don't see how nor why.
However there is a new API to get tenant settings if this can help you :
