A system property to turn off commenting functionality within Power BI Report Server. Similar to ShowDownloadMenu=False.

With over 1000 users connecting to our PBIRS instance commenting functionality is unworkable at a per report level.

RE: Turn off Commenting on PowerBI Report Server

The commenting functionality can be controlled through the security roles.

1. Using Management Studio connect to the applicable Report Server instance
2. Enter the URL as https://[Host Name]/Reportserver.
3. Expand Security, Roles, and then double-click Browser (this is the default role).
4. Untick the task "Comment on reports", then click OK. Now users or groups with the browser role will no longer see the Comments section for reports.
