Allowing uncertified visuals in Power BI desktop after applying group policies

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

We have downloaded March version of Power BI desktop (2.115.842.0) and also configured Group Policy to restrict use of only certified visuals.

Group Policy is configured as directed in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-admin-portal#custom-visuals-settings. Checking the registry I can see:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Power BI Desktop

EnableUncertifiedVisuals = 0 (type: REG_DWORD)

In Power BI, I'm able to browse and import uncertified visuals from marketplace. I'm also able to add them to the canvas. I expected to either not see them in the marketplace or not import them, certainly not being able add them to the canvas. I'm concerned that I don't understand the expected behavior or I have the GP configured wrong. Any assistance in understanding the behavior or confirmation on GP/registry settings would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Are you logged into your account? The policy is only enforced when you are logged in from what I have seen.
