IAuthentication and Authorization Process In Power BI Report Server
My project is currently in requirement gathering and research phase . We are planning for on premise Power BI solution as client requires that.
Need details on authentication and authorization process of a user to POWER BI dashboards in POWER BI REPORT SERVER.
I setup active directory security groups to manage user access to the folders. I then use a database user account (service account) for the data sources. Then if you need to you can setup row level security within each dashboard.
Hi,aduguid,thanks for your concern about this issue.
Your answer is excellent!
And I would like to share some additional solutions below.
Hi,Sayani92 I am glad to help you.
aduguid has made good suggestions.
Use Active Directory security groups to manage user access to folders: this method simplifies user management. By adding users to a specific AD security group, you can easily control their access to different folders in Power BI Report Server. Setting up RLS on a dataset allows you to set up their access to the data according to different user identities, ensuring that users can only see the data that they have the right to access, which further enhances the security and privacy of the data.
Below is the documentation I found and the issue I have resolved, I hope it will help you.URL:

User authentication and authorization process is a key part of ensuring data security and access control, configure these settings to effectively protect your report data.
I hope my suggestions give you good ideas, if you have any more questions, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
