Live Connect In Power BI Service Isn't Available
Hi price1d , Sure.
The reasone behind the issue is that the Live Connectivity to Datasets can be governed by your Company's IT Administrators. I had to request access for myself and others in my team for the same. There is a role called 'Enable_Live_connectivity' that will be assigned to you or your team members, that will solve the above issue.
I requested access for my mail-enabled security group (Active Directory group for my team's admins) and once access was given the issue resolved.
Hope this helps you!
I am experiencing the same issue - dhruvinushah can you please elaborate on the solution you found as your description is difficult for me to interpret "It was related to access and governance policy. Requesting the correct access to my team's mail enabled security group was the way to go."

Yes it did thanks very much dhruvinushah!
It is the tenant setting "Allow live connections" that you're referencing - I have changed the permissions and it resolved my issue too.
Your post is the solution 🙂
hello @Syndicate_Admin doubt, this permission in the tenant configuration was from Power Bi or somewhere else
FYI; The tenant setting is named "Users can work with datasets in Excel using a live connection". I spent a few months with IT trying to figure this out.
Hello,
Can you please explain it in detail.
I have done following but still not activated.
- Created one security group "Enable Live Connectivity"
- Add myself to that group as Owner and Membership.
Hello,
It's a surprize for me that today is working fine.
