Enabling Microsoft Fabric for Your Organization (Tenant-Wide)
This guide outlines the steps to enable Microsoft Fabric for your entire organization (or a specific security group) within a single tenant. If you manage multiple tenants, these steps must be repeated for each one.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Access the Admin Portal:
- Click the gear icon (Settings) in the top right corner of the Fabric interface.
- Select Admin portal from the “Governance and Insights” section.
- Navigate to Tenant Settings:
- In the left navigation pane of the Admin portal, choose Tenant settings.
- Locate and expand the Users can create Fabric items option.
- Enable Fabric:
- The setting will initially display Disabled. Toggle the switch to Enabled.
- You’ll see two options:
- Entire organization: Enables Fabric for all users within the current tenant.
- Specific security groups: Allows you to limit Fabric access to selected user groups.
- Choose Entire organization (if you want to enable Fabric for everyone in the tenant).
- Click Apply to save your changes.
Important Considerations
- Tenant-Level Scope: Enabling Fabric at the tenant level provides broad access. Ensure you understand the implications before proceeding.
- Fabric Capacity: Microsoft Fabric requires capacity. Confirm that your organization has the necessary capacity.
- Security Groups (Optional): Use security groups for more granular control over Fabric access.
- Governance Policies: Align Fabric usage with your organization’s data management and security policies.
- Multiple Tenants: Repeat these steps for each tenant that requires Fabric access.
