Power BI changing domain of users in folder security

My company has two domains. Power BI Report Server is installed in DomainA and we have users in DomainA and DomainB. I am able to grant permissions to users from DomainB. Power BI validates the users and I get error messages if the DomainB\username is not valid. However, after a day or so, when I check the security tab for the same folder, it changes from DomainB\username to DomainA\username. Is there a way to avoid that?

Just completing the information, after the domain is changed, the users cannot access the folder and the permission needs to be granted again.

I'm having the same issue. Were you ever able to stop this from happening?

I did not find the cause and I don't know the solution yet.

Thanks,

Hi @erichgreiner ,

 

Sorry, my mistake. I haven't tested this, and let me do some research.
