Power BI Service - Admin Options not available

Hi,
I want to disable the "Analyse in Excel" option in my dashboards, and I saw that this could be done under "Admin Portal".  However, when I went to "Admin Portal" I didn't have that option (or any) available.

I am Admin for this workspace and I have the Premium license.

 

How can I see the full options?
Thanks

Agree with @ibarrau - you need to have one of the roles below or have someone with that role enable it for you. 

 

The admin portal can be accessed by admins with the following roles:

  • Global administrator

  • Power Platform administrator

  • Fabric administrator

Once you are in the admin portal, go to “Tenant settings”, then “Users can work with datasets in Excel using a live connection”.

Hi. Those settings are for the whole organization. Only a Fabric Administrator or a O365 Administrator can view the setting. As admin of the workspace you can only check the report settings to prevent export. I don't think you can do it for analyze in excel. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/power-bi-report-settings?tabs=powerbi-desk...

I hope that helps,
