I cant create a site

Hi, I'm new to powerpages, but not new to Power Apps.

I'm trying to create a test powerpage but the options are greyed out 



I've had a look through the options here but I'm sure I should have enough permissions.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/admin/admin-roles

I am a power platform admin, and I have made myself a system administrator of this new environment (power pages developer).
In Azure I can register a new web app.

    Hi  ,

    Thank you for choosing Microsoft Community.

    You are unable to create a Power Pages site because just Power Platform Admin + System Administrator roles alone are not enough.

    Power Pages requires specific roles, environment settings, and licensing before the “Create site” button becomes active.

    To resolve the issue:

    1. Enable Power Pages in the environment

    Power Pages must be explicitly enabled in the environment settings.

    2. Assign the correct Power Pages roles

    The user must have one of the following roles in the environment:

    • Power Pages Administrator
    • Power Pages Maker

    Without these, the UI stays greyed out even if the user is a Power Platform Admin.

    3. Ensure the environment supports Power Pages

    The environment must:

    • Have Dataverse provisioned
    • Be Production or Sandbox (not Teams or Developer without Dataverse)

    4. Confirm that your licence is valid license

    A Power Pages, Power Apps, or trial license is required.

    5. Refresh permissions

    Sign out → sign in again → clear cache if needed.

    If I've helped solve your query, kindly mark my response as the solution and like my suggestion ❤️ Your feedback supports future seekers 🚀

    Happy to help

    It sounds like you’re very close — the issue usually isn’t Azure permissions but Dataverse + Power Pages permissions inside the environment.

    Even if you’re a Power Platform Admin and a System Administrator in the environment, Power Pages has its own additional requirements before the “Create site” options become available.

    A few things to check:

    1. The environment must have Dataverse installed

    Power Pages can only be created in environments with Dataverse.
    If this is a brand‑new environment, double‑check that Dataverse is fully provisioned.

    2. You must have the “Power Pages Administrator” or “Power Pages Maker” security role

    Being a System Administrator usually covers this, but in some tenants the Power Pages roles don’t get added automatically. You can assign them from:

    Environment → Settings → Users + Permissions → Security roles

    3. Check if Power Pages is enabled for the environment

    Go to: Power Platform Admin Center → Environments → [Your Environment] → Settings → Product → Power Pages Make sure it’s turned on.

    4. If it’s a Developer environment, ensure it’s not restricted

    Some dev environments created through trials or sandboxes can have Power Pages disabled by default.

    5. Try accessing Power Pages directly

    Instead of going through Maker Portal, open:

    https://make.powerpages.microsoft.com (make.powerpages.microsoft.com in Bing)

    If the environment is eligible, you should see the “Create site” button active.

    If all of the above look correct and the options are still greyed out, it’s usually a provisioning delay — new environments sometimes take 10–20 minutes before Power Pages becomes fully available.

    Can you just hover over the greyed out "Start with a new template"? sometimes it indicates more details on why you can't create the website
     
    Also, what is the type of Environment? Is that a Developer type? We can have a maximum of 3 Dev envs/portals - have you reached already that limit?

    Check that you meet the requirements against the "Create a website" entry in this link
     
     
    (note: the System Administrator referred to is a Power Platform/Dataverse Security Role not Azure etc)

    You need to have Application Administrator role in Azure active if your system admin blocked it from be created from any user.

    Ya you need to activate power pages within the admin portal if you haven't already.
