Microsoft Fabric administration is the set of tasks and tools you use to configure, secure, and govern the Fabric software as a service (SaaS) platform across your organization. As an admin, you control tenant-wide settings, manage feature access to meet company policies and regulations, and delegate responsibilities so no single team becomes a bottleneck.

Fabric defines several admin roles that determine what tasks a user can perform in the Microsoft Fabric environment. These roles include the Power Platform administrator, Fabric administrator, Capacity admin, and other specialized roles that allow delegation of responsibilities without giving full administrative access. For details about which types of admins can perform specific tasks, see [Understand Fabric admin roles](roles.md), [Microsoft Entra built-in roles](/entra/identity/role-based-access-control/permissions-reference), and [Microsoft 365 admin roles](/microsoft-365/admin/add-users/about-admin-roles).

Fabric is composed of tenants, capacities, and workspaces. Your organization might have one or more tenants, each with at least one capacity. Workspaces reside in capacities, and are where data is created, transformed, and consumed. Each organization can arrange its tenants, capacities, and workspaces based on its structure. For example, capacities can align with business functions like sales or marketing, and workspaces with each function's divisions.

Admins can control these processes throughout the organization. For example, you can create and delete workspaces, and control [workspace settings](../fundamentals/workspaces.md#workspace-settings) such as [Azure connections](../data-factory/dataflow-support.md), [Git integration](../cicd/git-integration/intro-to-git-integration.md), and [Microsoft OneLake](../onelake/onelake-overview.md).

To share management across the organization, you can also use [domains](../governance/domains.md). A domain is a logical grouping of workspaces—for example, by function such as sales or marketing. You can assign domain admins who are closer to the subject matter, freeing Fabric administrators to focus on organizational processes while experts manage data in their fields.

The **Share Fabric data with your Microsoft 365 services** tenant setting controls whether Power BI and Microsoft Fabric automatically send information about your organization's Fabric content to Microsoft 365. When an admin turns on this setting, Fabric sends details about your reports, dashboards, and other content to Microsoft 365 in the background. No user action is required for this sharing to occur. Microsoft 365 then uses this information to help users find and return to their Fabric content through search results, the Quick Access list on Office.com, and personalized recommendations.
