workspace creation disabled on tenant level
Hi,
Am trying to create a PowerBI workspace using a python script.
I have created an app registration in Azure and it has API permissions - Workspace.ReadWrite.All
I have also enabled Workspace creation in PowerBI Admin portal.
However, when I use this App registration(TenantID, ClientID, and ClientSecret) to authenticate and create workspace, it errors out.
The error is (Authentication token is getting generated but workspace creation fails)
Failed to create workspace. Status code: 403
Error message: b'{"error":{"code":"InvalidRequest","message":"WorkspaceV2 creation is disabled on tenant level"}}'
I checked with my administrator and my account was added to the security group which has permission to create workspaces and the “Create workspace” option is turned on.
Is there anything else that needs to be done?
Thanks in advance.
Hmm, you are right, the documentation says that Workspace.ReadWrite.All is allegedly sufficient.

Workspace.ReadWrite.All only allows you to manipulate the artifacts inside a workspace. To create a workspace you need a better scope.
Do you know which relevant scope is needed in that case please?
the official source doesn't mention the need of a different scope when creating a workspace : Groups - Create Group - REST API (Power BI Power BI REST APIs) | Microsoft Learn
