i have fabric admin but cant see half the things i need in the service

Hi, our infrastructure guy says he gave me fabric admin.  But i know for a fact i'm not seeing various workspaces even if i have rights to content in those workspaces and in workspaces that i can see along with their content, i cant see half the models etc.  Is there a more powerful permission than fabric admin?  i'm not sure i want to chase folks who are setting things up without also giving me admin in the process.

@db042190 Go into the Admin portal, then Workspaces and you can see all of the workspaces. You can assign yourself access. Also, there are PowerShell scripts that you could run to give you access to all workspaces.

Hi Greg, i hope i still got your attention.  In the portal i did assign myself admin.   but in the same portal i see 1 dashboard, 6 reports and 6 datasets.  But in the service i see only 1 dashboard, 4 reports and 4 semantic models.  Which is what i saw i believe before i gave myself admin there.  Maybe reporty and dashboard usage are just something you get anyway and dont really see them unless you are in the portal?

@db042190 I'm not exactly sure that you are not seeing. Are you referring to the usage reports?

i think so.  didnt know this kind of infrastructure was build into pbi.   i'm thinking i shouldnt worry about those and should just assume when i have admin, i'm seeing everything in that ws.   i may even be seeing everything when my creds on that workspace are viewer etc.
