Hi @Monis_09 ,
you can put the reports in different folders und give permissions directly to the users. More common is to put the persons in different AD Groups and nest thoose groups.
You have different roles on the RS If you like to know about them please look here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Report-Server/Power-BI-Report-Server-Predefined-Roles/td-p/654316
