Hi, @joshs444 

As provided by your screenshot, you try to create a data flow in "MyWorkspace".

According to my observations and test studies in the official documentation, dataflow does not support creation in "MyWorkspace", which is a prerequisite described in the official documentation.

So as a solution, since this option has been enabled in your admin settings, you can create an App workspace and click "New" to create a data stream, please refer to this official document for details.

@djurecicK2 is correct in that dataflows cannot be created in your personal workspace (i.e. My workspace)

Hi @joshs444 ,

 Dataflows are not available in My Workspace. Please try from a different workspace.
