Hi, It could be useful in the future be able to manage user permissions in the folders into the same workspace. In this way it's possible to manage the access of the users for some contents avoiding the creation of N workspaces or avoiding the RLS (that's very useful for some context.

Hello everybody, I am a bit new in Power BI Report Server. I installed my evaluation trial and configured with reports and Windows users fine. Then I needed to use custom authentication, so I tried to get it as explained in https://github.com/Microsoft/Reporting-Services/tree/master/CustomSecuritySample#start-of-content and in the end it worked fine. I created clicking on "Register new user" of login window, then I added it in Security element in RSReportServer.config file (step 3 of the article) and finally I could login. When I am in the Report Server, I see reports, I can manage security on first page and choosing Element roles and System roles, but a lot of things are not working as it always tells me "An error occurred. Try later": I can't open the Menu of any report, where I could manage RLS, updates, title and so on clicking on right-upper corner I can't open any report I can manage Element and Security roles but they look not to work as I gave me Content Manager and System Administrator but I can't edit anything about reports. I don't see previous domain users anymore but maybe it's normal, but I need to configure many users and giving them permissions about folders and reports but it doesn't work. Some particular aspects which could be useful: In Report Server Configuration Manager, as Service Account I use a domain account of my server which I used before to login to Report Server too, maybe I should change? I don't know but I don't think In step 4 of the article to configure custom authentication you need to generate machine key with Validation="AES" but when I generated it with my server I got Validation="HMACSHA256" Please help me because I really need to configure it in the right way, it's very important to me. Thanks a lot Nick993Views0likes0CommentsCannot add users or groups in report server portal
Hi, I just installed the latest version of PBI report server and also the PBI desktop RS version. I have successsfully created and publised some reports to the report server and can view them in my browser. The problem is that I cannot grant other active directory users or groups access to view any of these reports, without granting them admin access to the server hosting the report server. When i select "Manage" on an individual report in the portal and go to the security settings, I click on "Add group or user" but the text box where I need to enter the new user will not accept any text, therefore I'm unable to add any user. Has anyone come across this issue? Any advise would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advanceSolved14KViews0likes5CommentsAdd users in basic authentication
Hello, I installed my evaluate version of Power BI Report Server on a virtual machine, then I log in with admin account and upload reports where I have roles. I need to provide access to users outside my domain, so I want to use basic authentication (it's the best way, isn't it?) defining usernames and passwords. I changed the RSReportServer.config file as explained at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/security/configure-basic-authentication-on-the-report-server?view=sql-server-2017#main but now I don't know how to create new credentials and the only way I am able to connect is with my admin account. I read many things about security and roles assignment but I have no user to associate to one of my roles. Please help me. Thank you so much1.4KViews0likes0CommentsHow is Views by User defined in Usage Metrics?
In Report Server, after clicking on Usage Metrics, how is Views by Users defined? If I am a user, and I open a dashboard to view in Report Server, and then refresh the browser, does this count as 2 views or 1 view? Or is there some other explanations? I checked the below link but it does not explain this. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-usage-metrics Thank you!Solved4.1KViews0likes6Comments
