Enabling Geospatial features not working

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

hello
i'm trying to add a map to my app but i keep getting the error "Your environment does not have these geospatial capabilities. They can be enabled in the power platform admin center". 

 

here's the list of steps i've taken:

  • Clicked on settings icon in my power app page and then on Admin Center
  • Created new environment
  • Went to Settings of the environment and then Features
  • turned on Geospatial Services and agreed the terms of services
  • saved the settings

 

after this i tried to add a map component but got the same error, I figured was an error due to the data loss prevention policy so:

  • went to admin center
  • selected policies -> data policies
  • created a new one
  • selected my environment and then added to policy
  • selected the connectors used by my app (sharepoint, office 365 users, Spatial services, and just in case i added dataverse too)
  • accepted the review

tried to add my map component and still got the same error

what am i doing wrong?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @Antonioclk,

    Could you please tell me if you have Basic User security role in your environment?

     

    Here are some tips for your reference:

    1). This Enabling Geospatial feature requires the use of the “Organization” entity from your Dataverse connector

    2). Assign a security role that allows Read access to the "Organization" entity in Dataverse. 

    3). A user with the System Administrator role can locate and modify a security role for users by navigating to Settings, Security, Security Roles.
