Customize Access URL for Power BI Report Server on Windows Server

We are currently using Power BI Report Server (PBIRS) installed on a Windows Server machine, and we would like to know if it's possible to modify the access URLs to include an additional context path...

    Hi jcaroe,
    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

    Power BI Report Server (PBIRS) does not natively support adding a custom context path (e.g: /myapp) to the default URLs (/Reports and /ReportServer) through its configuration tools, as the virtual directories are fixed. However, you can achieve the desired URL structure by using IIS as a reverse proxy with URL rewriting on the Windows Server hosting PBIRS.

    Here are the official Microsoft documentation links for URL Rewrite and Application Request Routing (ARR) for IIS, as referenced in the response:

    These links provide detailed guidance on configuring URL Rewrite and ARR in IIS, including setup, rule creation, and proxy settings, which are relevant to achieving the custom URL structure for Power BI Report Server.
