Tenant Admin Unable to enable PPU AI Features
My PBI Tenant Admin is unable to enable AI through the PBI Admin Portal for my PPU capacity. Do they also need a PPU license to be able to manage this capacity as they cannot see the capacity features settings shown in the screenshot from the MS enabling guidance shown and linked below?
Enable AI features
Cognitive services are supported for Premium capacity nodes EM2, A2, or P1 and other nodes with more resources. Cognitive services are also available with a Premium Per User (PPU) license. A separate AI workload on the capacity is used to run cognitive services. Before you use cognitive services in Power BI, the AI workload needs to be enabled in the Capacity settings of the Admin portal. You can turn on the AI workload in the workloads section and define the maximum amount of memory you would like this workload to consume. The recommended memory limit is 20%. Exceeding this limit causes the query to slow down.

Hi AndyBowler
For PPU it is enabled by default, that is why there is no setting. You can use it in Power Query
Hi GilbertQ
Many thanks for your post....
I cannot use the Azure ML AI addon in Power BI desktop and it signposts me to the instructions linked in my previous post in order to enable it in the desktop app. As I had posted the features are not available to my Tenannt Admin. Use Machine Learning and Cognitive Services with dataflows - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
This is my error....
Hi AndyBowler
Apologies for that, I thought it was just the standard AI usage and not the Azure Machine Learning Models, I do think that it is a Premium only feature.
