Power BI Administrator
Hello, I'm relatively new to PowerBI. I'm trying to use the Admin Portal to look at usage metrics, but the only thing present is the 'Capacity Settings'. I reached out to our helpdesk and it seems I have full access and licesne. I don't know how to actually become the Administrator. Do we not have the right licenses? Does an account rep need to assign an Admin?

(2) Monitor usage metrics in classic workspaces
Besides, you can check your license like bellow,
For admins, they can use the Microsoft 365 admin center or the Azure portal to view and manage user licenses for the Power BI service. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-admin-manage-licenses
