Does Power BI Server support AD-hoc reports?

Dear Power BI Pro,

 

By some reason, our company can only use Power BI server , not cloud based Power BI service.  but our Power BI end user needs the ability to build their own reports when they login our Power BI server.  but Power BI server does not have this feature. anyone has solutions for this?

 

Thanks

End users can build their own reports and publish them on Power BI Report Server. They just need to use "Power BI Desktop for Report Server" to author them and it should work fine as long as you have given them the appropriate permissions. There is a download link in the top right hand corner of the Report Portal which will take you to the correct version of Power BI Desktop for your Report Server.
