Microsoft Fabric will preview Workspace-level private links and Outbound access protection starting late August 2025. Tenant admins can enable these features for workspace admins to secure inbound and outbound network access, reducing unauthorized access and data exfiltration risks. Review and adjust settings post-release.
Updated August 5, 2025: We have updated the timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Microsoft Fabric will introduce two Preview features called Workspace-level private links and Outbound access protection at the Fabric workspace level. At the tenant level, the corresponding settings Configure workspace level inbound network rules and Configure workspace level outbound network rules will be in the Advanced networking section of the Fabric admin portal.The new tenant-level settings will be disabled by default. You (the tenant admin) can switch ON the tenant toggle in the Fabric admin center if you decide to make this feature available to your workspace admins. This will allow the workspace admins to configure Workspace-level private links and Outbound access protection. The workspace admin will then decide whether to configure these features at the workspace level.
When this will happen:
Public Preview (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in late August 2025 (previously late July).
We will communicate the plan for General Availability in a future post.
How this will affect your organization:
Feature 1: Workspace-level private links
Feature 2: Outbound access protection at the user workspace level
What you need to do to prepare:
After we release these features, please review these settings to assess the impact on your organization and adjust them as needed.
If you have questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our support team.
