    After consulting Microsoft Support, I have found why it is not working. 

     

    Here is the solution:

     

    Tenant Settings:

    "Push App to End Users" needs to be enabled and set to Entire Organisation. 

     

    Update App:

    Under "Permissions" tab, the "Access" needs to be set to Specific Individuals, Install App Automatically is only supported when you select Specific Individuals or Groups. 

     

    The "Install App Automatically" checkbox will then be enabled.

Jenni-Sky,

 

the last setting is still enabled for a subset of the organization. As I understand from your response, you don't belong to that group (because that didn't work with the Publish apps to the entire organization setting), so that's why it's not working IMO.

So either get yourself into that security group, or enable it for the entire organization.

    Setting both "Push Apps to end users" and "Publish apps to entire organisaion" both to "the entire organisation" did not work, these were the original settings and the Install App button was still greyed out. According to a response on this thread: 

    https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Install-App-Automatically-for-Entire-Organization/m-p/510635

    Installing apps for entire organisation is not supported for entire organisations, although the response is a few years old so perhaps might be outdated. 

     

    I am a part of the security group:
