Report Server Set Permissions for Comments

Hi,

 

According to the link below, There are 3 types of Permissions for Comments on Power BI Report Server.

Can anyone please tell me where on Report Server to set these permissions?

These are permissions set on the roles. By default the Browser role can view, create and delete their own comments and the Content Manager role can do this for all comments.

 

But you can add or remove these permissions or create your own roles with or without these permissions by connecting to your Report Server with SSMS use the http(s)://<servername>/reports address then going into Security / Roles and either double clicking on a role or right clicking on "Roles" and choosing "New Role"
