explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft Fabric is introducing a feature that allows Workspace Admins to assign workloads directly at the workspace level. Think of this like a manager being able to directly assign tasks to their team members without needing approval from higher management. This change makes it easier for admins to manage and distribute work, much like how a team leader can quickly assign tasks without going through multiple layers of approval.
This feature will be available for testing in mid-September 2025 and is automatically turned on. However, if your organization prefers to keep things centralized, you can turn this feature off. Disabling it won't remove any existing assignments that have already been made.
Even with this new flexibility, security and compliance remain important. Just like needing a key to access a secure area, users will still need to provide Entra ID consent to add and interact with workloads. This ensures that only authorized users can access certain data, maintaining security boundaries.
To prepare for this change, review the new settings when they become available. If you want to keep control centralized, you can disable the new feature. It's also important to inform Workspace Admins about this change and remind users about the need for Entra ID consent, which is like needing a password to access a secure system.
In terms of compliance, the new feature respects data protection laws like GDPR. Access to workloads is controlled through Entra ID, ensuring that user data is handled properly and securely. Admins can manage these settings through the Fabric Admin Portal, much like how a building manager controls who can enter different parts of a building.
