    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:

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".

 

Best regards,

      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?
