Push the ISO button and rotate the front dial. It toggles between auto and manual ISO.
Also spend some time on reading the manual. You will need it for other things as well.

On my Z7, putting the camera in Auto mode will enable it.

The mode dial does not have to be in auto for the auto iso to work. I used it occasionally and all I do is hold down the iso button and use the front control knob to switch into, and out of auto iso. I do this in manual (or U1, U2, u3) as that is how I use my Z.

Don't don't spread misinformation. Auto iso works in many other modes besides Auto.

No, that's TOTALLY wrong. Auto ISO works in EVERY mode I am using, which is M, A and S. Read the manual and play with the camera in parallel. That's a good way to learn how the camera works and behaves. Also, try to do as I have written, push the ISO button on the top and after that, rotate the front dial one snap left or right. The top display will change from ISO xxx to ISO-A xxx and vice versa. If your camera is not working this way, I suggest you reset the camera to factory default and start over, with the manual in your hands. I mean, the thicker reference manual, not just the quick shorter user manual.

Can you contribute the settings for it to work in other modes? I think that’s the OP’s original question.

If the Auto setting is accessible when the camera is in auto mode (which it is), then he can’t be “totally” wrong.
In my Z7 manual (the “thicker” one), on page 166 you will see that this is the only documented way this can be done. I’m confident that the Z6 functions the same.

Dial in M and set Auto ISO.
Dial in S and set Auto ISO.
Diall in A and set Auto ISO.
Does it really needs more explanation? What else had you in mind? After all, it is this simple.

You’re not understanding his specific setting to which he is referring.

If you put the camera in “auto”, auto iso is applied and you can’t turn it off.If the Auto setting is accessible when the camera is in auto mode (which it is), then he can’t be “totally” wrong.
In all other modes, auto iso is controlled by pressing the iso button and use the front command dial to turn it off and on.

In the menu system, it's ISO sensitivity settings in the photo shooting menu. Or you can press the Iso button and rotate the front control dial.
But the OP says "it is greyed out". I assume that's means in the menu system. I don't know off-hand what other settings might make auto-iso unavailable. Video shooting mode has already been mentioned. I would be surprised if there aren't others as well.

OK, fine, I don't understand his problem, but apparently was right that he didn't read the manual, because you seem to have quoted the manual and understand what he is saying.
My interpretation of his words was that he said: "I cannot figure out how enable Auto ISO on my Z6." and then his solution: "the answer is the mode dial has to be set in Auto for it to work." ...and that is wrong, because Auto ISO works in ALL the modes I am using as well, so the Mode dial must NOT be set to Auto to enable it, it works also in M, S or A modes, and probably also in P (but I never use that, so I don't care).

...and I do that several times a day, depending on the situation. That's the way I adjust ISO and switch between Auto ISO or fixed.If you put the camera in “auto”, auto iso is applied and you can’t turn it off.If the Auto setting is accessible when the camera is in auto mode (which it is), then he can’t be “totally” wrong.
