Use capacity APIs to assign or remove workspaces to capacities, and get a list of capacities a user can access.

Currently, through the Power BI portal, a workspace admin with capacity assign permissions can use the Edit workspace dialog box to assign a capacity to a workspace.

Edit workspace options

With the AssignToCapacity API, you can manage a workspace with a Power BI Premium/Azure capacity, such as assign or remove the workspace from a capacity, or move between capacities.

Use the GetCapacities API to get a list of all the capacities a user has access to as a capacity admin and their assignment permissions. An additional property that states the capacity where a workspace resides, is available in the existing GetGroups API.

These Capacity API additions provide an enhanced ALM experience to onboard new customers by using a workspace for each customer. Here are the steps to automate the process:

1. Clone workspace with the analytical content for a new customer.

2. Connect the cloned content to the customer’s data source.

3. Get the customer into production by assigning the cloned workspace to a dedicated capacity.
