When attempting to save a report to the RS, during the save process, an error comes up saying, "An error occurred while attempting to save the repot to PowerBI Report Server."

The PowerBI RS service is running under a domain account, which differs from the domain account that is running the AS service.  Both are permitted to Log on as a service.

It was something dumb.  I added the pbi service account to the local admins group, but found it was removed by policy.  I added the account to the controlling policy, stopped/started the pbi service and all is well...
