Hi,
I've created some folders in Report Server and gave authentication to people for related folders. (Every group has a folder and they can not see other ones) But when they try to save as (deploy) the reports to their folder with the following path, they get an error;
https://servername/Reports/folder_name
When I give them full access to all folders, they use the following path and choose the folder name on pop-up box they can successfully deploy the report to the report sever;
https://servername/Reports
This solution is not good for us. Because, all groups have to see just their folders and contents.
Can't we save as (deploy) the reports to the path directly like https://servername/Reports/folder_name?
Is it a must to use the root path https://servername/Reports first and then choose the related folder?
Thank you,
Gökhan

Hi @gesgin,
Based on my test, when publishing Power BI reports to report server, we have to type into the root path formatted as:
https://servername/Reports
In your scenario, you could just grant access to specific folder to specific users. When they deploy reports, although they type the root URL, they only have access to choose their related folder.

Thank you for your answer @v-yulgu-msft
When I give authentication to just Home url and their own folder, they can successfully deploy the reports to that folder and can not see other folders' contents. That works perfectly for me.
