Unable to Get Assigned System Administrator Role in a Power Platform Environment to Admin Account

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am unable to add my Power Platform admin account as a System Administrator to any Power Platform environments in our organization.

When attempting to access and manage content in these environments, I receive a popup message stating "Get the System Administrator role" with instructions to click the "Get role" button to assign myself this role. However, when I click the "Get role" button, the same error popup appears repeatedly without resolving the issue, creating an endless loop.

I would like to clarify whether it is a requirement for Power Platform Admins to manually take the System Administrator role for each individual environment they need to manage, or if there is a more streamlined approach for admin accounts to access multiple environments?

    So... I am not sure where you are trying to do this, but you should go to the Power Platform Admin Center.
     
    Go to powerapps.com log in
    Click the Environment Drop down
    Select any environment and click ... (vertical) and choose go to PP Admin Center
    Click Environments again to see all environments
    Select the one you want
    Click All Users (right side)
    Search/find yourself
    Click Roles
    Add Basic User + Sys Admin
     
    And Yes you have to add yourself to each.
     

    If these suggestions help resolve your issue, Please consider Marking the answer as such and also maybe a like.

    Thank you!
