amitchandak vivran22   Thank you both for responding - it was helpful in that it further defined my issue.  I work for a midsized county government - so I cannot create an account like you both have recommended (.mil and .gov accounts need to run through the Microsoft Government side).  To make things a little more complex while I have deployed and have been using Power BI desktop for around 8 months, about 4 months ago the County I work for has moved to a Government Office 365 account - however the level does not include Power BI.  This was not an issue until recently when I believe the tightened up some permissions which somehow may have affected my ability to use custom visuals. - the symptoms I am experiencing are very similar to when an organization uses the Power BI Admin function to turn off Custom Visuals.   Does anyone have an idea on how I might be able to reverse that?  How do I get to the Power BI Admin function, if I do not have a PowerBi license?  I really only need the Power BI Desktop version - it has worked well so far.

 

Respectfully,

Hi Anonymous，

 

Custom visual needs to grant permission,so you do need to have an account to get access to it,there's no other ways if you dont have an account.Just a free account is enough.So you'd better get a free account first.

 

 

 
Best Regards,

    The Februar Version of PBIRS was fine, no account was requested.

    We copied the .pbiviz file locally and imported them in the Desktop, all was fine.

     

    The May Version asks 10 times for account (I gave my Pro account), than the sign in form disappears and the Visual is inaktive!

    All our Apps that contain custom visuals open with inaktive visuals!

     

    Please reverse this impossible behaviour like it was in the Feb Version. On-Premise means: "No connection to Cloud"! 

    Thanks
