In the current state you can only configure these tenant level settings for users and security groups. So if you allow security group A to use a feature, the users in security group A can use that feature across the workspaces in the tenant.
The capacity settings page in the Power BI admin portal should be enhanced to A) allow admins to see the default settings inherited from the tenant level and B) apply settings that are specific to the given premium capacity node. Only Power BI service administrators should be view and edit these capacity-specific settings, not capacity administrators.
In a future release Power BI admins should have a simple summary page in the admin portal that summarizes tenant and capacity settings applied and thus advises of any custom settings applied at the capacity level. This view and feature as a whole would be particularly valuable for larger and more complex and varied deployments involving many premium capacity resources and many distinct teams and applications.

RE: Capacity Level Administration Settings
Dataset Endorsement (promote/certify) applicable at capacity level rather than tenant level would assist greatly in managing data access/visibility across the enterprise.
RE: Capacity Level Administration Settings
I totally agree this would be a valuable feature. In my organisation we have a multi capacity environment where we allow different levels of control depending on the capacity purpose.
For example we provide a self service capacity for discovery and innovation which has a light governance model and then the complete opposite for capacities that are Globally IT managed and need a tighter level of control.
Having the ability to specify some of the current tenant level settings to apply for specific capacities would make this much easier for organisations to manage these type of scenarios.
