Controlling Export Formats Based On User Role
Apr 26, 2007
I'm using Reporting Services 2000 and I have a situation where I need to specify the file formats available to export. I know I can change the RSReportServer.config file to change these at a global level, but what I really need is to be able to configure these differently for different user groups. For example:
group 1 - has all available export formats available
group 2 - only has the ability to export to excel
group 3 - has no option to export to any format.
Is there a way for this to be done? If so, can anybody give me any pointers on how it can be done?
Any help given will be most appreciated!!

Folks,
Our client has requested that we change the export file name (PDF and others) to match the report name. Currently, the name is based on the report's filename (eg, foo.rdl exports as foo.pdf) -- this causes problems because the same RDL is being used for a few fairly different reports. Is this controllable at all?
thanks,

I'm currently using SQL Server 2000 and SSRS 2000 with the latest Service Packs.
I need to disable Excel Exports for a single report.
I've found a way to disable Exporting Formats but it disables for ALL REPORTS on the server.
This involves changing the rsreportserver.config file.
http://blogs.digineer.com/blogs/jasons/archive/2006/05/10/93.aspx
Another site mentions a way to disable Exporting Formats for a single Report.
http://mikemason.ca/2007/04/30/
Code Snippetusing System.Reflection;
using Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServices2005.Execution;
namespace MyProject
{
public class ServerReportDecorator
{
private readonly ServerReport serverReport;
public ServerReportDecorator(ReportViewer reportViewer)
{
this.serverReport = reportViewer.ServerReport;
}
public ServerReportDecorator(ServerReport serverReport)
{
this.serverReport = serverReport;
}
public void DisableUnwantedExportFormats()
{
foreach(RenderingExtension extension in serverReport.ListRenderingExtensions())
{
if(extension.Name == "XML" || extension.Name == "IMAGE"
|| extension.Name == "MHTML")
ReflectivelySetVisibilityFalse(extension);
}
}
private void ReflectivelySetVisibilityFalse(RenderingExtension extension)
{
FieldInfo info = extension.GetType().GetField("m_serverExtension",
BindingFlags.NonPublic
| BindingFlags.Instance);
if (info != null)
{
Extension rsExtension = info.GetValue(extension) as Extension;
if(rsExtension != null)
{
rsExtension.Visible = false;
}
}
}
}
}
I'm looking for further clarification of this process.
1. Where I can download the Microsoft.SqlServer.ReportingServices2000 dll?
2. Does anyone have a project example of the process? How/When to actually use the code quoted?

Hey Folks!
I have a typical requirement by my client. On submitting a Update (Bulk) button a huge database operation starts. A huge bulk update operation need to be performed. This would take 2-3 minutes some times. Client wants a cancel button in this case where he can be given a way to cancel the database Transaction.
Please let me know in case if there is a way out.
Thanks, in advance.
Regards,
Uday.D

We have been working on an application that will be using a forms-authenticated report server (RS2005) as a reporting back-end. Using the reporting services web service I have been able to assign permissions to objects in reporting services no problem. The issue is that each user needs to be added to the System User role to be able to use the report builder properly. I can't seem to find a way to do this programmatically. Any idea?

Hi everyone,
I try to add a db_role or a user to all my databases with one script. Although parsing doesn't report any problem I get a Syntax error during execution.
I first select the database names into a #temp table which has two columns, ID and dbname.
After that I use the following code:
DECLARE @Count smallint
declare @dbVarchar(20)
SET @Count = 1
WHILE (@Count <=(SELECT MAX(ID) FROM #temp))
BEGIN
Exec ("USE @db")
EXEC sp_adduser 'test'
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'my_role', 'testrole'
SET @COUNT = @COUNT + 1
SET @db = (SELECT dbname FROM #temp WHERE ID = @Count)
END
It seems that the "Use @db" part has no value for the variable @db.
Does anybody knows how to solve this?

I am attempting to set up a new user that has only the ability to run reports in the report manager.
I have created a new ActiveDirectory entry for DOMAINReportUser. I have a created a new folder with the reports, and have set this user as a Browser role on this directory, and all reports in the directory.
I have made it throught the security maze to gain access to these reports as this user, but I cannot dynamically run the reports. As the BUILTINAdministrator (content manager), I get a grayed background on the parameters and can run the reports. As this DOMAINReportUser, I get what looks like HTML parameter items, and cannot run a dynamic report. Even if I change the role of this user to Content Manager, I still cannot run a dynamic report.
How do you properly set up a user to be able to dynamically run, and only run, a report in Report Manager, and have this user only see reports in a single folder?
I have been fighting the security issues of creating a RS site and properly setting up access, and have yet to find a single site or person explaining the entire process in any coherant method.

There is a STIG Check that does not allow grant "Connect SQL" directly to any logins except SQL System and the SA account. My way of resolving this is to do the following:
Step One:
We create a Server Role called SQL_APPLICATIONS – for the application accounts
We create a Server Role called SQL_DBA – for the DBA accounts
and give them direct “Connect SQL’ server permissions. MAKE THE ROLE OWNER = sysadmin (group)
Note: I think that creating a Server Role is only available starting with SQL Server 2012, but not sure. I am using SQL 2012
Step two:
I add the members (Logins - SQL & Windows) – in this case any application accounts and DBA accounts to the new roles respectively
Step three:
I remove the “Connect SQL” Permission from each Login
The first problem i noticed is that the maintenance plans failed with "The owner domainusername of job db_backup does not have server access.I am currently using a test system and wondered If you think I will have trouble with the application connecting when I try and implement on the production systems.

Hi All,
I have a report running and I am attempting to assign role based security. I added a group to the site level security. The group I added contains child groups. It doesn't seem that report server is looking into the child groups to see if the logged in user is a member of the child group. Is there anyway to get this to work instead of adding all the groups directly? I suspect that report server is using cominterop and cominterop is not traversing the directory tree?
Thanks,
Darren

From Books Online Help:
In the role-based security model that is implemented for Reporting Services, users who are assigned to the Content Manager role can create and edit reports in Report Builder. Local administrators are automatically assigned to this role.
If you want other users to be able to work with a Report Builder report, you must create a role assignment for them that includes the default role "Report Consumer." Alternatively, you can create a custom role definition. As long as the customized role includes the "Consume reports" task, users who are assigned to that role will have sufficient permission to create and modify reports using Report Builder
---------
However, when I try to give a contact those rights, the "Report Builder" link still does not show up for my users. Is there any other place where I can examine the security rights to see why the Report Builder permission is not granted to my users?

I have an issue related to SSAS security. We have an SSAS multidimensional cube which needs 3 types of security:
- Access to the entire cube => OK, based upon a role
- Restricted access to one department (= dimension) => OK, based upon a role
- Access to the entire cube, but with dynamic security on 2 measures.
Let's say, we have 2 departments (food and non-food). Users within food are allowed to see sales and pieces from the food department, but not from the non-food department.
It is not an option to restrict access to the non-food department because there are other measure which they have access to. I tried cell security, but this is very slow and generates multiple empty rows on my selections.

I have a business requirement to build a tabular data model, where I need to mask information of other Agents from a given Agent but I still need to show the overall sales of the given product.
For eg: IF an Agent is in APAC region he should see APAC region sales and also should be able see the sales of the same product in other region without knowing region specific break down.
For Agent "Tom" in APAC region, the numbers will look like this
APAC_Sales = 100,000
Other_Sales = 500,000
And if "John" is in NA region, then the number will look like this for him
NA_Sales = 200,000
Other_Sales = 400,000
I wanted to create "Roles" based on the Region, so all the agents belong to "APAC" region will have same view as Tom and "NA" region agents will have John's view.

Can anyone out there help me write a sp to determine if a user has a certain role?
I'm trying to use "sp_helpuser @UserName".
Can I declare a cursor with "EXEC sp_helpuser @UserName"? I'm not having success with this.
What about SELECT [GroupName] FROM EXEC sp_helpuser @UserName WHERE [GroupName] = @GroupName? Again, syntax error.
Is there already a better way that someone knows of?

NOTE: I am talking about roles in my sql server - NOT in asp.net. I need to create a stored procedure that retrieves the roles that the currently logged in sql user has for a different database. I have the code that gets the roles for the user, but it only works if the user is in the database. I want to be in one database, and get the roles for a different database. I have tried using USE DATABASE, but this is not allowed in a store procedure.

Hi All,
I'm rather new to the MS SQL Server development in general and especially to its data security architecture and features - I'd like to know if it is possible for end-user to retrieve/update(!?) the data using a SP which executes on a table for which she/he doesn't have any privileges.
TIA,
Shamil

Hi,
I need to read and subsequently modify the privileges (rights) of a certain SQL Server user / role from within a Visual Basic Program.
Modifying seems to be easy using standard statements like GRANT/REVOKE. But what about reading all the rights a user has ?
I have researched SQL-DMO, but didn't find what I'm looking for.
Any idea ?
Mike

I am not a DBA so please be gentle...
I am trying to export all of the user and role permissions out of several databases for auditing purposes. I see the Users and Roles listed under the Security tree view when I log into the database, but I do not see an option to export or query the permissions. In addition, we do not have any tables that reference user permissions in our databases. So, how would one go about exporting or querying this information?
I've seen similar topics where they recommend querying sys tables to gather the info, but I don't see those tables either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All my thanks!

Edit: I should add in that I am connecting to 7 and 2k DBs using 2k5 SMS. Not sure if that makes a difference...

After restoring the backup in server B, I created the user sitebase again and tried to grant him db_owner through Server Manager but I got the error: user or role already exists in the current database.
How can I avoid this situation and grant db_owner to him?

I get the following errors associated with trying to create an SP.
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Procedure AddFortuneUser, Line 8
Line 8: Incorrect syntax near '@newuser'.
Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Line 1
Must declare the variable '@newuser'.
Can anyone explain why I have to do a declare.
I suspect I have to issue "declare @newuser sysname" somewhere but I'm not sure why.
The following is the code I'm trying to run.
My intent would be to create a form for the Admin Clerk that would call this SP. That way they can create a generic login. They have an application that allows them to change the password after the fact.
/*
Created for Admin person to allow them to add a basic SQL Login Account
forcing the user to be a member of a specific role 'helmsman'
in a specific database 'Fortune'
*/
CREATE PROCEDURE AddFortuneUser
@newuser char(128)
AS
EXEC master..sp_addlogin @loginame=@newuser, @passwd =substring(@newuser,1,8), @defdb =Fortune
GO
if not exists (select * from dbo.sysusers where name = @newuser and uid < 16382)

I need a stored procedure to find out if the current user is a member of a certain role. I want to pass the role name and return a bit to tell whether he is a member or not. I have this code to list the groups the current user is a member of but I don't know how to search or do a "SELECT FROM" on the results.DECLARE @usr varchar(32) SET @usr = USER EXEC sp_helpuser @usr But if the current user is a member of more than one role it returns multiple rows. So if I could do something like: DECLARE @grpName varchar(32) SELECT * FROM (EXEC sp_helpuser @usr) WHERE GroupName=@grpNameIF rowcount > 0 THENRETURN 1ELSERETURN 0END IF I know that doesn't work so how can I do this?
