can't create folder on power BI report server
Hi,
I am going to save my Power Bi report to a new folder on the power BI report server, but I can't create the folder under Home page, I have the System Administrator, System User permission. please help.
- Someone who is local administrator on the server, should also grant you "Content Manager" for the Home folder. By default only local administrators of server have access to completely manage the server. By adding a user to a site role (System Administrator, System User) they get some permissions at the site level, but that doesn't automatically adds item level roles for Home folder. See here for more details about the permissions of SSRS:

I assume you are doing this through portal and you receive some error message? Could you please share the error message details and any relevant info in the log files?
yes, I am doing it via portal (http://server/reports/browse/), I can't see create folder or new menu, so don't know how and where to create a folder.

Hi wzhang,
Please restart your PBI Report Server Service and run IE browser as Administartor role. Also, please make sure your current account is added under "Site Settings".

Can you check the secuirty of Home folder? You may need to add yourself to the Content Managers there. Can you provide a screen shot of what you see when you log on?
