Fabric API - Service Principal Support

[felix_lindhe]

The current version of the Fabric API's does not support executing via a Service Principal. This makes automation from Notebooks/Azure Functions/... difficult, and is not in line with how the "old" Power BI API's are working. Please add support for Service Principals when running the new API's.

Hello,

yeah it wil be great to support Service Principal

it's impossible for me for the moment to industrialise this feature

[v-rabij1]

Many customers looking for this feature, it would be great to support Service Principal

[steffen_klima]

We need the Service Principal support to automate our deployment pipelines for backend and frontend. Without the Service Principal support we need to include manual steps which is far from ideal.

[ASteinke]

I agree. We don't want to have to rebuild what we have done in a backwards fashion to migrate to Fabric.

You can list Fabric capacities using SPN but not for example workspaces. It can not be a huge stretch to support it for the rest of the API:s as well.

This is a critical functionality to make Fabric usable for large organizations by enabling something that can be called an actual deployment model. Please make it happen.

[fbcideas_migusr]

This is a crucial feature. Please prioritize

[jose_vizoso]

I agree, this is something which is absolutely vital. Without this, we cannot do a proper automation, which makes Fabric adoption quite less viable.

[pablo_doval]

We are also being hit by this, since this heavily limits our automation capabilities, and forces us to adopt a less-than-ideal path to integrate Fabric in our product.

This feature is now on the roadmap for Q3 2024:

Fabric Core REST APIs support Service Principal

Estimated release timeline: Q3 2024

Release Type: General availability

Enablement of Service Principal support in Microsoft Fabric REST API is a pivotal enhancement for the automation of customers deployment and management of environments.The ability to manage principal permissions for Fabric workspaces, as well as the creation and management of Fabric artifacts like eventhouse and lakehouse, is crucial for the automation of provisioning workflows. By end of May 2024, following MS Build conference, Service Principal will already be supported by few automation scenarios, such as Fabric Workspace management, Power BI Report management, Power BI Semantic Models management and Fabric Capacity Management. By the end of 2024, all Fabric automation scenarios will support Service Principal.
