@dmannava

Are you a Microsoft Vendor engineer? If so, the feature has changed that it is not allowed for vendor engineers to create group in PBI.

Thank you for your response.

May I know the reason for this restriction?

Also can you please suggest any alternatives to share Power BI interactive reports for group users ?

There seems no known reason for this restriction.

Also can you please suggest any alternatives to share Power BI interactive reports for group users ?

I would suggest you to use Organizational content packs in this scenario.

Groups vs Organizational Content packs?

@dmannava Do you have a "Pro" license? Are you experiancing any other issues in your Office 365 environment? Can you access Groups in O365?

[dmannava]

Yes, I have Pro License and can totally make changes to existing groups.

@dmannava I'd submit a support ticket if it continues. There is nothing on the O365 side or within Power BI that would restrict you from creating that PBI Group... So, I can't recommend checking anything.

I assume this is something new to your user and you've done this before with this user.
