Pipelines running cross-tenant Dataflows

[VictorMed]

Hi All,

I have a question I haven't been able to answer by checking the documentation.

Is it possible to run cross-tenant Dataflows using the Dataflow Activity in Pipelines?

We have a client with a PPU capacity who wants us to orchestrate their data flows from our fabric capacity in our tenant.

Is that even possible? Or can only be achieved by using the REST API?

Thanks,

Victor

Hello @VictorMed 

Fabric Data pipelines operate within a single tenant boundary. While cross-workspace pipeline invocation is supported (Q3 2024), cross-tenant orchestration isn’t natively implemented

Yes with rest api it should be possible 

1. Use a Service Principal with permissions in both tenants
2. Programmatically invoke Dataflows in the client’s tenant using API endpoints.

Hi @nilendraFabric ,

It's I expected then.

Are there any plans to remove the tenant boundaries?

Thanks,

Victor
