Can't enable developer settings

I want to enable developer settings. I'm on https://app.powerbi.com/groups/me/settings/general/plugins and when I check 'enable developer visual for testing', I don't see any option to save setting. When I go to other page and return back, the checkbox is unchecked.

 

How to enable developer setting?

HI @IPS1,


Actually, this option works on my side, I'd like to suggest you check admin portal setting if your admin has turn of some settings.

Hi,

 

Thank you for answer.

Actually, it works but the page seems to be buggy or its UX is atypical. If I don't close browser tab, the checkbox reverts (e.g., I go from Developer to Privacy page and back to Developer). If I close tab after I check the checkbox, and open it again, checkbox is checked. 

 

Thanks

Hi @IPS1,

 

I think it may related to cache files, have you try to clean cache to try again or test with other web browser?
