You should be able to use the UserID function which returns domain\username.

Do you want in paginated report or direct query PBI report? Or you want impersonate user?

Hi, @saket_mca1 

Do you want to set permissions?

The portal, folders, and files are secured using SSRS roles. Here is a high-level summary of the roles and how it affects Power BI Reports.

• Browser – This is similar to a read only function or if you would deliver the report as a Power BI App in the service. This should be used by anyone who needs access to the report, but does not create content.
• Content Manager – This is for a content creator with admin privileges. This role can manage content and user access.
• Publisher – This is for content creators who do not need to manage users. Most content creators fall into this category.
•  
• Report Builder – does not apply to Power BI Reports, which use Power BI Desktop to develop reports.
