Hello,
I am new t Power BI, but come from a BI background.
My question is : For Power BI Report Server, is it possible to publish reports into different categories and grant access to users based on that (just like the workspaces in PBI Service) ?
Example :
User 1 -- Access Folder 1 -- Sees Reports
But User 1 doesn't see Folder 2 and 3
Thanks in advance !
Hi @lazurens2 ,
1. You could create "Folder" in Power BI Report Server Portal, when you save report in to PBIRS, you could choose the folder.
2. The web portal application runs in a browser. When you start the web portal, the pages, links, and options you see vary based on the permissions you have on the report server. If you're assigned to a role with full permissions, you have access to the complete set of application menus and pages for managing a report server. If you're assigned to a role with permissions to view and run reports, you only see the menus and pages you need for those activities. You can have different role assignments for different report servers, or even for the various reports and folders on a single report server.
