We've just installed the Power BI Reporting Server and we're running it in a trial based scenario. We cannot figure out how to get the Portal Administrator option to show up under the settings gear, it should be listed as Admin Portal.
Do we need to link into Office 365 to gain access to this functionality? The documentation we found only references Power BI via the Azure scenario.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-admin-portal
The documentation link provided says that,
"The admin portal is accessible to all users who are Global Admins in Office 365 or have been assigned the Power BI service administrator role."
So I think you are right, I think you need to link it with Office 365 as an Administrator or as a Power BI service Administrator.
I know this is not a Answer but a comment but I do not have the rights to comment right now.

I have installed SSAS tabular(2019) on my laptop and Power BI desktop (September 2021)
I make a project and deploy then I can see it in the SSMS when I connect to the analysis service. In power bi when I choose import I can see the model but when choosing the live connect it gives the error "The server you are trying to connect does not have any model or you don't have permission to access them".
As I search the net the result is because of the access permission. but I run the power bi as an administrator. I don't know which access is required and how I can check it.
can you please help me to solve this issue?
Perhaps you're running SSMS elevated, and you haven't added your individual account as an Analysis Services administrator.
I need to do reporting for my client and are looking into Power BI. What I need to do, is create the report and publish it to the client's website for the public. These reports are public knowledge, there is no security risk to distribute it.
The users should be able to see the report on the website and use some filtering options that comes with Power BI.
I have installed Power BI Desktop (free option) and created the report, but I can not 'Save as' to Web - there is no such option.
My questions are:
Do I need a licence to be able to publish to the web.
Once published to the web, will it be displayed on the website to the users with the functionality to filter and drill down even if they do not have Power BI license?
You have two options - Publish to web and to use the API to embed for your customers (a.k.a. app owns data).
In both cases you must publish the report to Power BI Service. You will need an account for that, but even the free one will work for Publish to web case. However, it is way more limited that the actual embedding using the API.
To register an account, you will need a "business e-mail address", i.e. GMail, Outlook, etc. will not work. This is required, because it will create a tenant for this domain, where the administrators in your organization can manage it.
For Publish to web the administrator must explicitly enable that option in the admin portal. Embedding using the API require programming skills, and normally you will need to buy a "dedicated capacity" (i.e. Power BI Embedded or Power BI Premium).
I have created report in power bi but i am not able to share it client as i dont have power bi pro license, whenever i clicked on publish to web button it is showing 'Contact your admin to enable embed code creation' pop up message
Yes, you can create a share to web without having a Power BI Pro license, however it is turned off by default in the Power BI tenant settings.
This will need to be enabled by your O365 or Power BI Admin. Please note, this method of sharing is NOT secure, anyone with the url will be able to access or see the report. The URL it generates is publicly accessible. To securely share you will need Power BI Pro, and share via workspaces or apps
My organization has bought Power BI licenses, Pro licenses for developers and Premium for standard user to view reports and dashboards.
Now it is my responsibility to configure these licenses so users can view developed reports.
Considering I have limited Power BI configuration experience I am stuck at the moment.
I have published my report and configured data gateway.
I am stuck at the point of sharing the report with other users.
When other users try to connect to Power BI cloud they get invalid password (all users the same)
Which made me think it is applying licenses to these users.
I am not sure how to do that and other resources such as this link
Tells me to add them when I click on Share Report which does not work the same way the link shows
The link shows this screen:
While I get this one:
How can I give users premium permission to Power BI
Sharing Power BI reports happens in the browser, i.e. in the Power BI Service. Your second screenshot is from Power BI desktop, taken while publishing a report to the Service. After publishing the report, you need to go to the Power BI Service (app.PowerBI.com) and from there you can share the report with users.
Since Power BI changed their policy about allowing signing up to Power BI Community with organizationnal email only, I can't register nor login. It redirects me to oauth, then to the community page and i'm using my work email. My work emails works fine with azure portal or power bi service.
Can't file a support ticket either since it's only available to Power BI Pro users.
Finally resolved this by asking the admin to reset my account password.
