Hi guys, trying to deploy SSRS sln and getting this "access denied" message. Any help?
Full control in "c:\agent" folder and subfolders.

Hello,

Can you check which user your Azure DevOps agent Windows Service is running under?
And if this user has permissions to the folder C:\agent_work\r1\a_BI-Concessao-ASP.NET-CI\drop\Aprovações ?

Perhaps PowerShell doesn't understand the special characters çõ ?

Kind regards,
Y.

Thanks @ygeelen-tb

Azure Devops agent is running under Administrator user. Failure seems to happen uploading files to Power BI Reporting Server. Agent is running in the same server as PBIRS.

I've tried a different user (my own, which is Adm) and also removed the special characters. Error still there.

Are you sure the task is being runned on the machine where this path exists?
