If you’re seeing a message like: “You need Entra ID P2 or Entra ID Governance to view or manage privileged roles” …then you’re either:
1. Not assigned a license that includes P2 features, or
2. Your organization has P2, but you personally don’t have a P2 license assigned, or
3. Something is misconfigured in PIM or role visibility policies.
Confirm that your tenant has Entra ID P2
Use this PowerShell command or check via portal:
go to Microsoft 365 Admin Center > Billing > Licenses and confirm P2 is listed.
Confirm your user has a P2 license assigned
Go to Microsoft 365 Admin Center > Users > Active users > [your account] > Licenses and apps Make sure Microsoft Entra ID P2 is checked.
If roles like Global Admin or Help Desk Admin are managed via PIM, and you don’t have eligible assignments or have to activate them, then:
- Go to Entra Admin Center > Identity Governance > Privileged Identity Management > My roles
- Check if you’re eligible or need to activate any roles.
- If you see “You don’t have any eligible roles”, then you may not be assigned at all.
Role Assignment Policy Check if your visibility to roles is restricted via policy:
- In Entra Admin Center > Roles & administrators
- Check if the tenant has Restricted Management Administrative Units (RAUs) enabled or Conditional Access policies that limit access to role info.
