Note:

Some workflows may require specific privileges. For more information about user types, roles, and privileges, see the Accounts topic.

All ArcGIS for Power BI users can add United States demographic data from ArcGIS to a map. See ArcGIS layers to learn about adding content from ArcGIS to a map.

Guest users of ArcGIS for Power BI can add tile layers containing United States demographic data and publicly available content from ArcGIS to a map to provide additional context to their Microsoft Power BI data. Users with an ArcGIS account can add licensed content from ArcGIS and their organization. See the Add a layer from ArcGIS workflow to learn about adding publicly available ArcGIS content to a map or, if signed in to an ArcGIS account, adding licensed content from ArcGIS or your organization..

Tip:

Guest users can add one ArcGIS layer type to the map. You must remove that type to add another. If you are signed in to an ArcGIS account, you can add multiple layers of each type.
