We have a PBI RS installed. I posted a report and started assigning users accidentally deleted my profile and lost the ability to manage the report. And now this report can only be used by a number of people and no one can change it. How do I restore rights to this report?

@power_bi_dev 

as you are a server admin you can try to play with SRSS DB with SQL.

You need tables like dbo.Policies, dbo.Users, dbo.Roles and dbo.Catalog

But I haven't ever tried to fix it via direct SQL Update 🙂

@power_bi_dev 

don't you have granted admin rights?

republish report isn't a good option for you?

I have admin rights to everything except this report. I don't have a copy of the report. That's why I can't republish it.
