Cannot create a group

Hi,

 

I am having problems trying to create a group on a client solution. I get the following message:

 

"Couldn´t create the group. Please try again later or conact support. Status code 500"

 

I can see that others have had the same issue in the past:

 

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Cannot-create-a-group/m-p/51769#M10864

 

However, no definite solution was provided in the above linked thread.

 

Does anyone know what´s causing this problem and how to fix it?

@CNR@MartinH, I'm trying to involve other senior engineers, will post here once I got any updates.

Hi Vicky,

 

That sounds good. You can also contact me at cnr@inspari.dk. Let me know if I need to open a support ticket as it as an urgent matter

 

Have a nice day

@CNR Check out this post done awhile ago by Ginger Grant. It outlines the necessary licensing. The small tidbit, is it requires Exchange Online to be licensed along with the Pro Power BI license.

Read through that, and see if you can determine the issue.

@CNR Ability to create group workspace is only available with Pro account so make sure that your account type is power bi pro.
