There are three steps you need to perform in order to make your Power BI workspaces available in Reporting Hub.
To add a Power BI workspace to a capacity, you'll need to:
Navigate to the workspace you integrate with Reporting Hub. If this is your first time using Reporting Hub, it is recommended to integrate a non-production workspace.
Click on the three-dot menu, and choose Workspace Settings.
On the License Info tab, the license mode to Embedded or Fabric. If you have more than one embedded capacity, select the one that is being managed by Reporting Hub and click Apply.
After assigning the capacity as the workspace license, you need to give your Reporting Hub application access to the workspace.
In your Reporting Hub application, navigate to App Settings > App Information.
Copy the Name of your service principal and note the Client ID.
Click on the three-dot menu, and choose Manage Access > + Add people or groups.
In the 'Enter name or email' field, paste the Name that you copied from your application and select the one that shows an AppID under the name. If you see multiple apps with the same name, select the one with the AppID that matches the Client ID in your app.
You must set the permission to either Member or Admin. Click Add.

Service principal not showing up? Ensure you have enabled your and that your setting is either enabled for the entire organization or that the application service principal you want to add is a member of one of the specified groups.
