You need to add this user in RLS and then go to security to assign the appropriate permissions for this user to access the report server. See below:

You need to add your name in the security section, refer to the below screenshot.

Your report has Row Level Security.

Hi,

This looks like you have Row-level security.

If you do, you will need to select users that run the report to have access to the row-level security groups you have set. eg, if everyone, it might be "domain users"
