Report Server access

Hello,

 

I am new to power bi and I have a very simple question (I believe).

 

I have installed PBI report server on our server got all the configuration done such as  database and URLs and so on, we have Microsoft Azure and MS 365 where all users and groups sits.

I am log in to the report server as administrator and I don't know how to get users from Azure AD to use Power BI report server.

When I click on Site settings and then security, I only see BUILTIN\Administrator and when click on add new group or user I get the error user or group name is not reconized.

Thanks in advance.

I may be mistaken but I do not believe Power BI Report Server is Azure AD aware. So, if your users and groups are Azure AD only and not on-premises AD then you may be out of luck.
