Workspace roles

Implement workspace-level access controls

Use Admin, Member, Contributor, or Viewer to control access across every item in one Fabric workspace.

The core idea

Microsoft Fabric workspace roles from Admin to Viewer, showing broader to narrower permissions and that workspace roles apply to every item in one workspace.

Fabric has four . Admin manages the workspace and permissions. Member can share content and add users with lower permissions. Contributor creates and modifies content. Viewer can consume content without changing it.

A workspace role applies to all items in that workspace. It does not extend to other workspaces, the capacity, or the tenant. If access should apply to only one item, use instead.

When a user receives several workspace roles through direct or group assignments, the highest permission level wins.

Key points

  • Admin: manages workspace settings and access
  • Member: shares content and adds lower-role users
  • Contributor: creates and changes workspace content
  • Viewer: consumes content without editing
  • : applies across all workspace items
