Settings to activate map visuals at organization level

Hello,

 

I don't know where I can activate map visuals from my Power BI Services account, I have a premium per user license.

On my screenshot you can see error messages that I have on Power Bi Desktop when I try to use map visuals being connected to my Power BI account. If, I am not connected it works. I don't really have administrators in my society, we are only two users with PBI Premium per user license. I don't know how to find the adminstrations settings at the level of my organization to activate these map visuals.

Hi @Julien_Blanc44 
You need to enable maps from the Admin portal (from the service):

Hi,@Ritaf1983 ,thanks for your concern about this issue.

Your answer is excellent!
And I would like to share some additional solutions below.
Hi,@Julien_Blanc44 .I am glad to help you.
Hello, according to your description, you need to contact the administrator of your organization to enable this option in the admin portal
You mentioned that you don't know the administrator of your organization at the moment.
In fact, @Ritaf1983 has already provided very correct help, I would like to add some more below.
You can check the other members of your tenant to see if anyone has administrator privileges by doing the following

1.microsoft365 admin portal:

URL:
https://admin.microsoft.com/

2.Azure admin portal
URL:
Home - Microsoft Azure

 You need to log in with the members of your organization to see if there are other members, you need to let these members try to log in to the power BI service to see if anyone has admin rights, as long as they have access to the admin portal and turn on this option in the setting, you can solve your current map visual function is disabled.

Usually the member who creates the tenant will be defaulted as an administrator by the system, you need to check if there is a user with administrator status in your organization.

 

I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.

Best Regards,

Carson Jian
