Did you ever figure out the issue? This started happening today on one of my report servers, but not the other 3. Only seems to be affecting .PBIX files 

Hi, we fixed this issue two days ago on our on-prem PBIRS (1.17.8552.27722 May 2023). You should better add your service account running the PBIRS service to the local Administrators group. A really quick fix.

@v-qiuyu-msft  sorry for that

I am having a very similar issue.  

 

I can successfully upload a Report Builder report, however am unable to upload a Power BI report both through Power BI Desktop (SSRS) and from the Upload button on the Power BI Reporting Server.

 

 

I do receive the following in the logs however....

 

 

2017-05-30 13:13:14.3514|FATAL|1|Could not start PBIXSystem.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Net.HttpListenerException: Access is denied
