Hi tlandry,

 

The Common Data Service connector is currently in preview and only available to a segment of users in the United States. So make sure your database region is United States.

 

In addition to being part of the preview group, to use this connector, you'll also need to:

  • enable the Power BI integration in the PowerApps admin portal
  • have maker permissions in PowerApps
  • sign in to PowerApps at least once

If you still have any problem to use the Common Data Service connector, I would suggest email CDSPowerBIPreview(at)Service.Microsoft.com for better assistance. :smileyhappy:
