    This looks like you haven't setup the data sources properly. If you click the ellipsis on the report tile in Report Server, and select Manage, then go to data sources. Scroll down the credentials section, you then have 2 options...

     

    • Authenticate as the user viewing the report, which requires Kerberos authentication to be setup properly - see the following https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/report-server/configure-kerberos-powerbi-reports
    • Manually key in credentials of an account that has permissions on your data source - this can either be a windows account (select Windows Authentication from the drop down) or a SQL server account (select Basic Authentication from the drop down)

    Hope this helps.
