Please check following points.

1.Make sure you run SharePoint Management Shell as administrator.

2.When you run PowerShell and ask you to enter your account and password, please make sure the account is SharePoint administrator and site administrator.

You should run the whole PowerShell, then log in the administrator account in the prompt window.

It may be caused by your account is MFA (Multi-factor authentication) enabled.
Please try below PowerShell.

#Config Parameters $AdminSiteURL="https://tenant-admin.sharepoint.com" $SiteURL="https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/emilytest" #Connect to SharePoint Online Tenant Admin portal Connect-SPOService -URL $AdminSiteURL #sharepoint online enable custom scripts powershell - Disable DenyAddAndCustomizePages Flag Set-SPOSite $SiteURL -DenyAddAndCustomizePages $False

Dear @Emily Du-MSFT

I have successfully executed the above commands, does it take time to enable SharePoint Designer. After successfully running the script, i have checked whether it is enabled or not in Site Settings, it is not activated.

Whether you mean SharePoint Designer Setting under Site Collection Administration is missing?

1.Make sure following features are enable in the site features and site collection features.

2.Try to open the site collection in another browser, then have a test.

3.Make sure the log in account not only has full control permission and also is a site admin.

Dear @Emily Du-MSFT

I am unable to activate the feature at Site Collection level, I get below error when i try to activate it. Would you please provide me PowerShell script to enable that feature please. I wanted to tell that I am using trial version of SharePoint online for my personal purpose.

I have tried to open in Chrome or Edge, in both browsers, the designer is missing. I think if we enable that feature designer settings will be visible under site collection settings.

I have logged on as Site admin only.

Can I have PowerShell script to activate the feature please. Note this is a SharePoint online trial
