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

Hello @KBO

1. In Test folder1 i went into into manage then seciurity and add group which i have created.

2. In Test folder 2 i did the same thing and add different AD group.

 

but now i'm aceessig the server with one of the user it shows both of the folder to that user instead of one maybe i'm doing something wrong but my folders are not hiding from the other user.
