Restrict access to folders on Power BI Report Server

Hello

I would like to restric access to a specifi folder on Power BI Report Server, but it does not seems to work.

Scenario:

On the main page of the report Server, I have 3 folders each with Reports inside.

I want my user to view folder 1 and 3 and their contents, but not folder 2 and contents.

my user is local admin on his machine.

Anyone know how to do this?

You can try this:

Role-Based Security:

Power BI Report Server allows you to manage security using role-based access. You can create roles and assign users to those roles.
Start by creating a Security Group in the Office 365 admin portal. Add the users who should have access to folders 1 and 3 to this group.
Next, configure Row-Level Security (RLS) settings for your reports. Add the created security group to the RLS settings.
By doing this, you’ll ensure that users in the group can only see data from folders 1 and 3.

You should be able to remove access to the individual folders in the security tab of the folder.
