Hello,
as a Power BI administrator, I need to able to access all Power BI workspaces in the tenant.
I know it is possible to gain access workspace by workspace by using "Admin portal" --> "Workspaces" --> click on desired workspace "..." and grant myself access.
But this sounds more like a workaround and doesn't make it easy for administration, because
1. I do not know when a new workspaces was created and it is manual work to add admins to each and every workspace
2. It also confuses workspace members that now there is also another person allowed to access their workspace (when they check the Access menu)
3. Of course, this only works starting with V2 workspaces.. as we have a lot of (80%) our workspaces still in V1, migration also needs to be done before.
Is there any other way to gain access to workspaces (including personal workspaces)?
Thank you
Best wishes
Johann

Hi! I'm sorry but that's the only way to administrate the access with UI. You can always build a script or piece of code to make those operations with the REST API.
Remember you can't be parte of the "My Workspace" of other users even if you are admin. Those spaces are Personal only.
I hope that helps,
Happy to help!
I am power bi admin, I can go to "Admin portal" --> "Workspaces" --> click on desired workspace "..." and grant myself access, but when I tried to give the same access throug Power shell script it doesn't work.
because to give access to workspace, you should have atliest minimum access on the workspace.
Since I don't even have minimum access , it doesn't loop through any workspace.
1. is there special way to login to script to see all workspaces as admin.
2. is there any permission needed to have access to all workspace and other contents by default?
