For those that are a "single user" (i.e., effectively, should be your own Power BI admin) , you need to open your Azure Portal and assign the Power BI admin role to a user account that will access the Power BI Admin Portal.
This is what worked for me:
- Go to your Azure Portal
- Open Azure Active Directory resource
- Select "Users", then select a user, which should upon the user's profile page
- Select Assigned Roles on the left
- Select Add Assignments, then find and add the Power BI admin role from the list that appears
- Finally, logout and back into the Power BI admin portal with the assigned user account, and you should now see all settings under Tenant settings
how would i find my azure portal?
Hi Rajendran,
When I get into my admin portal, I got this screen;
Why I don't get the proper admin portal?
Previously, my map visuals worked fine until recently I got this issue of:
Map Visuals aren't enabled
Your help is much appreciated!
BR,

Did you ever resolve this?
I am a single user on a pro licence. The advice of contact your power BI admin is not much use as I assume I am Power BI admin. Where do I chnage this settings?
Hello.
Sorry but this is not solved.
I have tried the suggested solution and as a single powerbi pro user, the options you point to does not exist. When I go to the suggest page, this is all I see
I have drilled into every link on every page and the options you have suggested simply do not exist.
I cannot contact my admin because as a sole user, I am admin.
Am not sure where to go from here. Is this a bug or does the map simply not work for single pro users?
Thank you.
You have to make your account the admin on office 365 which will reflect in your PBI account. The only way you can do this is- click on the 9 little dots behind the "POWER BI" on the home page of your PBI, its on the far-left-top corner, office 365 will pop out with apps click on admin then follow the prompts from there, this will lead to making you the admin. When done logout on your PBI account and log in again, you should be able to see Tenants Settings in the admin Portal, when there go to Map and Filld Map to enable. You should be able to view the maps after all these.
I know this message is old, but you've just saved me, I'm doing a Power BI report for a job interview, and this had me stumped - so thank you!
I have a 5 tenant license and I can access the admin page but there is no link to tenant. None of the other 4 users has that access either.
What gives?
Hi Bob,
I have exactly the same problem as you, did you succeed now?
I am a single user on a pro licence. The advice of contact your power BI admin is not much use as I assume I am Power BI admin. Where do I chnage this settings?
Sean did you work this out. The default advice is "you are not admin" but I am a single Pro user so I have no admin and canot see where to chnage this setting.
Same situation here. The full answer would have been:
Go to https://app.powerbi.com/admin-portal/tenantSettings
If you are the admin, you will see Tenant Settings -> Integration settings -> Map and filled map visuals property.
I originally started with a bi free subscription before getting the pro. I can't remove the free subscription. Could this have some impact on this? I'm dying here because my maps have gone away. This is infuriating! LOL happy friday.
signout from powerbi desktop and sign back in
Thanks!
