Helper ISetting myself as the report server administrator
I am good now. I went into the SQL Server DB and made a few ownership and permission level changes. I am now able to Manage folders, add roles & users, and go to Site Settings to give myself Site Administration. I also made some Branding changes for our environment.
Helper IDinesh,
Thank you so much for responding. I have tried those steps in your comment prior to posting. I am at a loss as to why I wouldn't be able to start adding roles and permissions to the web portal if I am logged in as the same admin user that installed all of the products. I've even opened Edge as an admin just in case to try entering the portal URL. But I still get the same message that I do not have the correct permissions. I may have to uninstall it all and reinstall just to ensure it's not missing something.
Community SupportHi tgg3 ,
As you mentioned in your previous response, you are going to uninstall and reinstall the Report server. Once the installation done, please check the admin options. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.

Dinesh,
Apologize for the delay, I've had other projects going on as well and was unable to get back to this one until late yesterday. So I am still in the same boat as before. I uninstalled Power BI Report Server, restarted the server, logged back into the server with my admin credentials, right-clicked run as administrator (just for good measure) the May 2025 Power BI Report Server installer, clicked Close once done (versus Configure Reporting Services), & then opened SSRS to configure Power BI portal. I left basic settings as possible but created a new DB & connection. When I went to the portal URL on the server browser (logged in as the admin that installed the software) I am still getting the insufficient permissions to add roles & users. Not sure what I am missing.
