Hi dhouchin,

 

All Power BI pro users are able to create a Power BI group, if group creation option is not disabled in your Office 365 tenant.

 

To share reports and datasets with multiple users, you can create a content pack: Organizational content packs: Introduction.

I work for a univiersity, so as far as I know we should not be considered vendors.  Do I need to reach out to your support department to resolve this issue?

    Hi dhouchin,

     

    I already report this issue, and tried involve someone more familiar with this topic for a further look at this issue. Sometime delay might be expected from the job transferring. Your patience is greatly appreciated.  

     

    Thanks for your understanding and support.

    Hi dhouchin,

     

    I got the feedback that the group creation in Power BI is now controlled by the group creation in Exchange Online. In your scenario, please check in your Office 365 tenant whether group creation option is disabled. For more information, please refer to this: Prevent Users from Creating Groups in Office 365.
