can't create folder on power BI report server
Hi, I am going to save my Power Bi report to a new folder on the power BI report server, but I can't create the folder under Home page, I have the System Administrator, System User permission. pleas...
- Someone who is local administrator on the server, should also grant you "Content Manager" for the Home folder. By default only local administrators of server have access to completely manage the server. By adding a user to a site role (System Administrator, System User) they get some permissions at the site level, but that doesn't automatically adds item level roles for Home folder. See here for more details about the permissions of SSRS:

Can you check the secuirty of Home folder? You may need to add yourself to the Content Managers there. Can you provide a screen shot of what you see when you log on?
please see the Home folder when I log on, I can't see how to create a new folder. Thanks.
- pbxAll I can glean from this screenshot is that the server doesn't recognize you as the administrator. Can you explain a bit about the setup? Is it installed on a sefver? Whag type of authentication are you using? What does it show on the top right corner? That should be your name or account. Is that the correct one?
