The security for Reporting Services can seem a little complicated. Hopefully this walk-thru will help you make sense of it. |
|
||
Create a user |
|||
Create a user (a non administrator) named ReportUser (in the account management for your computer) Make sure you create a password for ReportUser. |
|||
Log off and log back in as ReportUser. Go to the Reporting Services website (usually http://<server name>/Reports). You wont see any Reports, Data Sources, or Report Models because ReportUser has not been configured in security. |
|
||
Add ReportUser to SQL security |
|||
Log off and log back in as the previous user (who has
full access to the Reporting Services website). Use the SQL Server Management Studio to create a New Login... |
|||
Select Windows authentication and select the ReportUser useing the Search button. |
|||
Click the User Mapping icon and check the box next to the DotNetNuke database. Check the box next to public for Database role membership. |
|
||
Expand the database for the DotNetNuke site and
right-click on the EventLog table and select
Properties. Click the Permissions icon and use the Search button to select the ReportUser. Check the Grant checkbox next to Select and click the OK button. |
|||
Add ReportUser to Reporting Services Security |
|||
Go to the Reporting Services website (usually at: http://<server name>/Reports) | |||
Click on the Properties tab. | |||
Click on New Role Assignment. | |||
Enter ReportUser for the user name. Check the box next to Content Manager. Click OK. |
|
||
Click the Site Settings link (in the
upper right hand corner) Click the Security link (on the left) Click New Role Assignment. |
|||

|
||
Create a Report |
|||
Log off and log back in as ReportUser. Go to the Reporting Services website (usually at: http://<server name>/Reports). |
|||

|||
The Report Builder will launch. Click on the Report Model you created in the previous tutorial to select it. Click the OK button Note: You can download and install Report Builder 2.0 for a better report builder. |
|
||
The Design Report screen will open. Drag the Log GUID field from the Fields section and drop it on the Drag and drop column fields box. |
|
||
Drag the Log Properties field and drop it to the right of Log GUID. |
|
||
