App workspace creation is disabled

im trying to create a new workspace and the following message appears

"App workspace creation is disabled

 

Creation of app workspaces is disabled by your tenant admin, or you need permissions to create them. Please contact your tenant admin."
 
I have power bi pro license and i already checked my permissions with admin.

Hi Postigo,

 

New workspace experience preview workspaces no longer create Office 365 Groups. So you’ll use the Power BI Admin portal, and new Power BI Admin REST APIs and PowerShell commandlets to manage the workspaces.

In the Power BI Admin portal, under Tenant settings, a new setting controls who can create workspaces using the new workspace experience preview. By default, the setting uses the same value your organization set for who can create Office 365 Groups.

When you set a new value, the value applies only to the new workspace experience preview. Conventional app workspaces built on top of Office 365 Groups, continue to be governed by the Office 365 setting.

 

Regards,

Pradeep
