There are two possible fixes for this:
1. Clear out your cookies
2. Enable third party cookies (this one is mandatory for the Automate tab to appear I'm afraid)

  If in Edge, click on this icon in address bar
  
  select Cookies and remove following menu. In other browsers that's similar.
  
  Another way is in Settings.

I've cleared cookies, made sure 3rd party cookies are enabled, and my admin verified that Office Scripts are enabled for all. I have a E3 license. Any other ideas? I nor my admin get the automate ribbon. I've tried different computers and browsers.

  tjb8907 all of my co-workers received the "Automate" tab before me. It took about 19 hours later for me to finally get it. Please allow 24-48 hours after the admin turns it on.

    The weird thing is, is that the admin setting was already on. I had them diasable and re-enable it, so maybe it will work tomorrow or next day.
