Don't Have "Site settings" option
There is no "Site settings" option when click on the "gear icon" in Power BI Report Server as seen below. Altough we have the highest possible authentication available.
So could you please help us how to enable “Site settings” option.

sancarkahveci : You have mentioned that you have highest possible authentication available, Do you have the role of 'System Administrator' as shown in the image below?

Actually we manage authentication through VisualStudio (SSDT) as below. Additionally we can not see the stated options since it is also within "Site settings" menu.
Thanks for your help.

Hi! Even if you are managing from Visual Studio, this is not the place to manage the PBIRS settings. Teh screenshot given is of a tabular Model and not of PBIRS. Please connect to Reporting Services from SSMS and there you would have option to add in Roles :
OR please follow as per ponnusamy responded to manage from browser.

If you can't see the site settings in the Browser you will not be able to see them from SSMS either even if you do connect to the correct endpoint.
What you probably need to do is to log on to the server using the account that installed Report Server. Then access "http://localhost/reports" - then you should be able to see site settings. If this does not work try running the browser as admin.
Once you get access to the Site Settings you can add your account to the System Administrator role in PBIRS and as Content Managers to the home folder. Then you should have full access from your normal account.
