To manage Instance Level Security go to the SQL BI Administration tab and click Application Security. In the Manage Users window, you can view a list detailing user account, permission level, and instances assigned to the account. Users with different permission levels for different instances are listed multiple times. When a user has multiple instances with the same permission level, instances are grouped on the Accessible Instances column, an ellipsis symbol displays if the names do not fit in the column, to view a complete list hover the mouse over the column.
