Power BI Gov Issues
recently we ended our use of the Power BI commercial site and moved to the Gov version.
We once used the Azure EA content pack to display cost reporting. Currently only subsets of that data are returned. Specifically nothing with an actual cost value is returned in the dataset.
Another issue is that when attempting to pull data from VSTS (again content pack) the process fails. This did work in the commercial version as long as you didn't attempt to pull too much data.
Finally we are very interested in using ArcGIS. We can only use on the free local development tools. When attempting to use via app.powerbigov.us it says it's been disabled by the admin. Does anyone know the settings that need modified to allow access. Also is there any upcoming ability to embed ArcGIS? This is of great interest.

Do you mean you cannot access Power BI services? Power BI US Government is only available as a Pro license, and is not available as a Free license. So if you are a free user, app.powerbigov,us is not available for you. You need to contact to your admin to add Power BI Pro license in Office 365 admin portal.
Here is a document about Power BI US Government, please refer to the link below.

no actually we actually do have Power BI Pro licenses. The first two situations have actually been worked through. VSTS actually just suddenly magically works.. (I'm only grabbbing data project by project). The Billng portion seems to an issue actually on our EA side (permission related).
Now the ArcGIS issue "appears" to be a setting for possibly the O365 Admin? We're literally taking a wild stab at that one. Through online resources I've fond that there's a setting that disables ArcGIS in admin setting. I'm unsure if these are disabled by default? To my knowledge the 0365 tenant probably doesn't even have a PowerBIPro license to even modify the settings.
So ArcGIS enabled in the app.powerbigov.us site seems to the pending question.
Hi djplayer,
Were you able to find a solution for the ArcGIS issue you were having with the gov site?
