Hi Joelllp

To help us troubleshoot the error when saving to Power BI Report Server, could you please confirm:

PBIRS version and the Power BI Desktop for RS version you are using.
Try this quick test: Save the report locally as a .pbix file and upload it via the PBIRS web portal. Let us know if you encounter the same error during the upload.

    Hi Anonymous,

    Thanks for your response. 

    The version I now have is:
    Client: September 2025 - 2.147.1088.0 64bit
    Server: September 2025 - 1.24.9392.34333

    I also tried May2025 on another server, same issue. I downloaded the client version via the Power BI Report Server Portal using the download icon.

    If I follow your steps I get the following error:


    log:

    Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user %USER% are insufficient for performing this operation.;| RequestID = s_1e5f76c1-652a-4b06-9b86-7ad7d79a1f0d

        Hi Joelllp ,
        Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.


        The issue might have occurred because someone in your organization may have received that PBIX file and opened it in the Microsoft Store version of Power BI Desktop. After making updates, they attempted to upload it to Power BI Report Server and encountered an error. Since the Store version uses a newer file format, the PBIX was automatically upgraded, making it incompatible with the Report Server version of Power BI Desktop.


        If possible, create a new report in Power BI Desktop RS and upload it to the Power BI report server to see if the issue is with the specific pbix file or the report server.

        I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.
        Thank you
