Hello
I am having an issue trying to access the Quick insights function on a dataset. The option is greyed out, and when I hover over the option the message "To use Quick insights, request the build permission from the author".
The problem is that I am myself the author, and then I navigate to the "Manage permissions" page for the dataset, I am listed with the "Administrator (Owner)" permission. I am not able to grant myself any additional permissions.
As a side note, this used to work fine in the past (last time I used it was probably a month ago), so I don't believe the issue is with the storage mode.
Any help with making the quick insights function available again would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Marie
