Cross-tenant use of Link to Fabric from Dataverse/Power Apps to a Fabric workspace in another tenant is not documented as a supported scenario in the provided content. The documented guidance assumes that the Dataverse/Power Platform environment and the target Fabric workspace are in the same Azure AD tenant.
From the available documentation:
- Link to Fabric is configured from Dataverse/Power Apps by creating a data connection to a Fabric workspace and then enabling the link so that Dataverse tables (and, by extension, D365FO data exposed via Dataverse) are synchronized into a Fabric lakehouse.
- When creating or managing the connection, the authentication options are:
- Workspace identity
- OAuth 2.0 / Organizational account
- Service principal (application user in Dataverse)
- For the service principal option, the required parameters are:
- Tenant ID: Azure tenant identifier
- Client ID: Application (client) ID of the service principal
- Key: Client secret or certificate
- The documentation describes adding the service principal as an application user in Dataverse and then using that identity to connect to the Fabric workspace. This flow is described only for a single-tenant setup.
Because there is no explicit cross-tenant pattern for Link to Fabric in the provided content, the following can be stated based on what is documented:
- Support status
- Only same-tenant Link to Fabric is described. Cross-tenant Link to Fabric (Dataverse/D365FO in one tenant, Fabric workspace in another tenant) is not documented as supported.
- Configuration guidance (within a single tenant)
- To configure Link to Fabric in a supported way:
- Ensure the Fabric workspace is in the same tenant as the Dataverse environment.
- Create an application user (service principal) in Dataverse and assign the appropriate business unit and System Administrator role.
- In the Link to Fabric wizard, choose Service Principal and provide:
- Tenant ID (Azure tenant ID for the shared tenant)
- Client ID (application ID of the service principal)
- Key (client secret or certificate)
- Complete the wizard so that shortcuts to Dataverse tables are created in the Fabric lakehouse.
- Manage the connection later via Manage link to Fabric, where the authentication method can be switched (for example, to Workspace identity) and the connection can be shared with other users.
- To configure Link to Fabric in a supported way:
- Alternatives / workarounds (based on documented patterns)
- The documentation in scope does not provide an official workaround for cross-tenant Link to Fabric. It only covers:
- Standard Link to Fabric between Dataverse and a Fabric workspace in the same tenant.
- General cross-tenant connectivity patterns for Fabric using workspace-level private links (for secure access between tenants), but not specifically tied to Link to Fabric.
- Any cross-tenant solution would therefore need to follow general cross-tenant Fabric connectivity patterns (for example, workspace-level private links) and then use supported, tenant-aligned Link to Fabric or other ingestion mechanisms within that architecture, but this is not described as a supported Link to Fabric configuration in the provided content.
- The documentation in scope does not provide an official workaround for cross-tenant Link to Fabric. It only covers:
Given the documentation available here, the only clearly supported and documented configuration for Link to Fabric is within a single tenant. Cross-tenant Link to Fabric is not described as supported, and no official workaround is provided in the referenced material.
