Unable to add a 'Group' under Security Role

Hi Folks,

 

I logged in as PBI Server Admin to the web portal . We had an Active Directory Security Group in the domain.

But when trying to assign the group (domin\groupname) to access a PBI Report, I am getting the following error

The user or group name 'domain\groupname' is not recognized. I even tried restarting the PBI Server but no luck.

Assigning the report to individual users is happening without any trouble.

 

Any kind of information is very much appreciated

access
Groups

    Hi,

     

    First you have to select a role to attribute and then you write your AD group or users in the search box and it's work.

    I am having the same problem with my install of PBIRS.

    I tried selecting role(s) first and then searching and I keep getting the same error.  I can add individual users from the group I am trying to add but that is not an ideal solution with over 50 individual users to manage.

      I am having exactly the same issue.

      The server hosting the on-Premise report server is part of the parent domain.

      The group I am trying to assign is part of a trusted domain.

       

      Would there be any log files on the report server \ IIS relating to the error thrown?
