    The short answer is that you can't. Sharepoint groups are a sharepoint only construct. 

     

    The only way I know of to get this to work is to use AD groups as the building block, then you can add an AD group to a Sharepoint group and give the same group access to a folder in Power BI Report server. Then adding a user to the AD group gives them single sign-on and access to resources in both Sharepoint and PBIRS.
