Permissions

In your Fabric environment, select Settings (the gear icon) in the top menu, and then select Admin portal.
On the Admin portal page, select Tenant settings, and then select Sustainability solutions (preview).
Slide the toggle to Enabled. In the Apply to: section, you can either keep the default selection of The entire organization, or you can provide this permission selectively to specific security groups by selecting the Specify security groups option. Then select the Apply button.
Deploy the solutions
In Microsoft Cloud Solution Center, select the Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability tile. On the Sustainability data solutions in Microsoft Fabric (preview) tile, select Go to setup. The Industry solutions page in Microsoft Fabric appears.
You can also reach the Industry solutions page while you're in Fabric by selecting the Industry Solutions tile.
In Fabric, select an existing nonproduction workspace or create a new workspace for deploying Sustainability data solutions in Microsoft Fabric (preview) by following these steps:
Select Workspaces from the left navigation menu.
Select New workspace. In the side panel, provide the workspace name and description, and then select Apply.
