Accessing Microsoft Fabric requires a subscription through Microsoft Azure.
- Step 1: Go to Microsoft Fabric’s website and log in with your admin account credentials.
- Step 2: Go to Fabric Settings and select Admin Portal from the menu options.
- Step 3: Open the Fabric Admin Portal and go to Tenant settings. Here, you can search for the Copilot Settings for your organization.
- Step 4: Turn the switch on to enable Copilot in Fabric.
In addition to the above-mentioned steps, you have to perform two extra steps to enable Power BI Copilot with MS Fabric if Azure isn’t available in your region:

- Step 2: Select Apply to save this change.
