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.

RE: Fabric API - Service Principal Support

Any news on this topic?I can't see it on road map (as other pointed out) but is October 2024 still the expected date?This would be great as it would allow so many ways to interact programmatically with the entire Fabric environment.

RE: Fabric API - Service Principal Support

@Julian Gimbel, The link does not mention anything about Service principals for fabric api no more. Did MS take it off the roadmap?????I hope not. Seeing the development for terraform, which also needs service principal support on an item level, I assume it's been rolled into that one. Keeping fingers crossed

RE: Fabric API - Service Principal Support

This feature is now on the roadmap for Q3 2024:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/fabric/release-plan/shared-experiences#fabric-core-rest-apis-support-service-principalFabric Core REST APIs support Service PrincipalEstimated release timeline: Q3 2024Release Type: General availabilityEnablement 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.

RE: Fabric API - Service Principal Support

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.

RE: Fabric API - Service Principal Support

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

RE: Fabric API - Service Principal Support

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.

RE: Fabric API - Service Principal Support

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

RE: Fabric API - Service Principal Support

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.
