There are several roles that work together to administer Microsoft Fabric for your organization. Most admin roles are assigned in the Microsoft 365 admin portal or by using PowerShell. The capacity admin roles are assigned when the capacity is created. To learn more about each of the admin roles, see About admin roles. To learn how to assign admin roles, see Assign admin roles.
