PBIRS Report with no one having content manager access

I had a report where the Builtin\Admin account had content manager access and a few other groups had browser access. 

 

In an attempt to remove the other groups and only keep the admin group, I ended up doing the opposite causing the admin group to go away and resulting in no user being a "Content Manager" for the report. 

 

Is there any other alternative to manage the security for that report and reinstate admin group as the Content Manager?

Hi, @vickyd 

 

Have you tried my suggestion? Did it fail? My test here can solve your operation of deleting admin. Do you think there is any problem?

I did try it. Didn't work though. When I click on "Manage" it basically shows a you do not have permission message as usual. 

Hi, @vickyd  Do you use the administrator's computer to log in?

Hi, @vickyd 

 

After testing, there is a way to add administrators again. You need to open the browser with administrator authority, then open the report server, and re-add ‘BUILTIN\Administrators’ in the settings.
