Hi @Datalover22,

 

Please ask the help from your global admin or Power BI service admin to enable this option in the Admin portal. When this setting is enabled, users can download data from a custom visual into a file on their storage device. For more details, you could refer to Organizational visuals - Power BI | Microsoft Docs.
