Hi,

I am exploring what is available in the free version of Microsoft Purview’s Data Catalog Solution. 

I want access the below given free features that come with this account type, as mentioned here:

Azure assets in your data estate are available in the Microsoft Purview Data Catalog without any set up needed. ​The data catalog automatically records data schema so users can explore data sources before accessing them.​Data owners can add information like description, classifications, and contacts to their assets to provide users a more complete picture of their data estate.

With current privileges,

I am not able to view data schema of any of the assets or the data sources.Edit any asset to add information even though I am the data owner of some azure databases and Fabric Items.I am not able to see metadata of the Fabric items that I see under browse section in Data Catalog.Below given image shows what all I can see in live view of a Fabric asset

Questions:

Do I need to be added to a data curator to have access to these features?What are the steps to get assigned as tenant admin, global admin or Microsoft Purview admin so I can create domains/collections>assign myself to a data curator role?Do I need to register and scan data sources in order access metadata in data catalog free solution?

Please let me know if I am missing any steps in order to access the features of the Data catalog that comes in free version and if I need to have additional permissions in order to gain access to the same.
