Hi @Anonymous 

  Ypu do not have admin rights, thats why you are unable to see the settings. Please request your Power BI admin to enable the below property.

Tenant Settings -> Integration settings -> Map and filled map visuals property.

For those that are a "single user" (i.e., effectively, should be your own Power BI admin) , you need to open your Azure Portal and assign the Power BI admin role to a user account that will access the Power BI Admin Portal.

This is what worked for me:

  • Go to your Azure Portal
  • Open Azure Active Directory resource
  • Select "Users", then select a user, which should upon the user's profile page
  • Select Assigned Roles on the left
  • Select Add Assignments, then find and add the Power BI admin role from the list that appears
  • Finally, logout and back into the Power BI admin portal with the assigned user account, and you should now see all settings under Tenant settings

@chiliPaste thank you!
But problem is I have inactive Add Assignment button

how would i find my azure portal?

Dear Raj,

May I know who is the Power BI Admin in this case, as I am only currently one person using Power BI Service as a Premium User.

 

BR,

I am a single user on a pro licence.  The advice of contact your power BI admin is not much use as I assume I am Power BI admin.  Where do I chnage this settings?

Hi Rajendran,

When I get into my admin portal, I got this screen;

Why I don't get the proper admin portal?

Previously, my map visuals worked fine until recently I got this issue of:

                                   Map Visuals aren't enabled

Your help is much appreciated!

BR,

Bob

Did you ever resolve this?

Nope.
