User Report Access for all reports

This solution will work for global folder accessing user but when am going particular report access for an user, folder level access will not be helpful( all reports will be visible).
So what exactly is your requirement? You said you had 200 reports and you wanted to give users access to these reports.
If you have a mixture of reports in your folders and you want users to see some but not others then the only other way to do this is to get a security group created in active directory. Then in each of these 200 reports you grant access to this group, then just add any users that need access to this set of reports to the AD group.
Workspace access does not apply to Report Server, that is only for the online service (app.powerbi.com).
I don't normally assign rights to individual reports as it gets too hard to manage. I usually click on the "Manage Folder" button in the top right and assign permissions at the folder level. Then you can just add users or AD groups to the folder. If you have already setup individual security rights on some reports you would need to go back into the security settings for the report and click on the "use same security as parent folder" button
Thanks !! d_gosbell ,
