Deny Builtin/administrators Full Access To Report Services Report Manager 2005
Apr 14, 2008
I need to prevent domain and local administrators from having full control over our report manager. (I want them to be assigned permissions just like everyone else, some reports they can see other reports they can not.)
How can I accomplish this? I tried going into Report Manager -> Site Settings -> Configure Site Wide Security and re-assigning BUILTINAdministrators to the System User role instead of the System Administrator role. (A different set of report manager admins was given the system administrator role).
However, it appears that members of the BUILTINAdministrators group still have full control in Report Manager.
We have a development server and someone went ahead and deleted the BuiltinAdministrators account in SSRS 2008 R2. I would like to know if, as a local admin of the server, I can recover content manager access to the SSRS instance.
I need to remove full admin privs from the builtinadministrator's group in report manager.
I tried removing the builtinadmin role from report manager and SQL Server, I removed it from the Site Settings area and from each individual folder's permissions.
Yet all the members of that group still have full run of the report server...
I even made a new folder that ONLY I am listed as having permissions to, yet they can see that as well...???
I'm trying to conncet to Report Server with Non-Administrator user through WMI in compliance with this document: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365170.aspx
When I try to get Instances from MSReportServer_Instance class I get an exception:
In my C# project i have an exception:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8000000A) at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo) at System.Management.ManagementObjectCollection.ManagementObjectEnumerator.MoveNext()
But, when I give the account Domain Administrators rights all works ok.
What additional rights must I give to the account?
I would like to remove the BUILTIN/Administrators group from SQL Server in order to prevent NT Administrators from having SQL sysadmin authority. Does anyone see any harm in doing this eg. could it affect future SQL Server upgrades if this group no longer exists?
I have done the following and a domain user would not access report created a login to the SQL server to the user (this SQL Server is where data source DB is)went to site setting in Report Manager and made this use a system userright clicked on report folder and made this user in the browser roleeven checked that in the report in question, the user is already in the browser role Still the user would not access the report! "User .......... does not have required permission" is the error message I am getting.Â
I have written a report visual studio. Â The report has 10 multi-value parameters that pull data from their individual data sets within the reports. Â When running the report from within Visual Studio it renders fine. Â There are no errors reported, only a warning related to a pathname I have use to retrieve image data and display on the report.Deployment of the report is error free.When I view the report I briefly get the "Loading" splash window, but then nothing. Â None of the headers or static text is displayed. Â The results window is blank.
The report defaults all the parameter values. Â In trying to debug the issue I have found by reducing the number of parameter values the report will render. Â Once I have all the values added, the report does nothing.Below is the query being used for the report. Â The where clause in the query shows the parameters being used and the syntax.We are running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2.

I am working on reports in SSRS 2008 (not R2)... There are some reports with parameters that are hidden when the report is accessed through normal URL using ReportViewer.asx..The thing is that these hidden parameters need to be visible when the report is accessed using SSRS Report Manager.
I have few reports under different folders in Report Manager. Is there a way to set the data source for the whole folder rather than each report individually? There is also a folder where reports generate dynamically. Since the report project doesn't exist anymore, I can't set the data source through code. How can I set the data source for the whole folder?
I was able to log in to SSRS report manager. But i was unable to run a report i designed on report builder.
It prompts for login when i wanted to run the report and i used the same windows authentication to sign in
It will show me the parameters but when i click on view report it gives this error
 "Data source 'DataSource1': An error has occurred.
Details: Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSource1'. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'Acc-11Admin'."
Our DBA has installed reporting services on a server and now in order to access the report manager, one has to be an Admin on that Server. I am guessing that there is a mistake in the configuration of Reporting Services. Usually it should allow anybody who was added to the roles in the properties section of the Report Manager, right? I have also added the users to the DB..
Also I am using Windows Authentication to access Report Catalog items (Reporting Services is installed on Server2) from a web Application(deployed on Server1) and displaying the report using report viewer. For some reason, server1 has to be in an Admin role on Server2 to access the report catalog/report. This is kinda strange for me as I don't want everybody to be an Admin on Server2. Can anybody please point in the right direction?
I'm using SQL Express with Advance Services & I get this error when I try to deploy my reports. Why do I get this error
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Cannot create a connection to data source 'EDPSYS'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)
The feature: "Remote access to report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. (rsOperationNotSupported)
SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 (SSRS) is installed on Vista Ultimate. I cannot access to the http://localhost/ReportServer page. IE posts an internal error HTTP 500.0 (after IE required a Windows account). All the configurations of Reporting Services are OK. In the Log file, there is nothing: the Web Services does not seem to be launched.
By continuing the investigations in IIS 7 (activation of the €œRules of follow-up of the requests having failed€?, I found the error following:
Translation of the french sentence: ErrorCode="Incorrect syntax of the file name, the directory or the volume."
I made a full research on Internet and in the documentation at my disposal and I did not find anything which can advance me towards a beginning of solution€¦
Thank you with all for the assistance which you will be able to bring to me.
I am running SQLExpress 2005 with Advanced Services SP2 I used the Reporting Services Configuration Tool to manually instal Report Manager to its default virtual directory. Got no error message. So far so good, but when I tried to start the manager by writing the URL (http://localhost/reports) in the address bar of my browser (iexplorer 7.0), I got the following error message:
XML-siden kan ikke vises Kan ikke vise XML-inndata ved hjelp av XSL-stilark. Rett opp feilen og velg deretter Oppdater eller prøv på nytt senere. Et navn ble startet med et ugyldig tegn. Feil under behandling av ressursen http://localhost/reports. Linje 1, Posisjon 2 <%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="Home.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="Microsoft.ReportingServices.UI.HomePag...
It is in norwegian so I try to translate it to the best of my ability: XML can't be translated by means of XSL style sheet. Invalid charater. Error occurred handling the resource http://localhost/reports Line 1 Posistion 2 <%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="Home.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="Microsoft.ReportingServices.UI.HomePag... There is a squiggly line under "c#" and "codebehind" as well.
I know very little of XML and XSL. What amends can I do to access the Manager? Please help somebody. Is it possible to use the Reporting Services Configuration once again to instal the Manager to another location?
I have just installed Reporting Services on a 2 server web farm. I can access http://virtualserver/reportserver but when I try to access http://virtualserver/reports, I get the following: The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Please try the following:

I have Reporting Services set up with the permissions (via Right Click Server/Permisions in SSMS or System Role Assignments in Report Manager) set as follows:
BUILTINAdministrators - System Administrator
When logged in as an administrator I am able to access Report Manager, no problem.
However, I want to add a new group so that non-administrators can access Report Manager. However, whatever new item I add in the permissions appears to have no effect. For instance, if I add a permission for Users, i.e. :
BUILTINAdministrators - System Administrator BUILTINUsers - System Administrator
I can still only access Report Manager as an administrator.. Any other user just gets the blank page.
I have tried creating a custom group, Report Users, with the same result.
I checked IIS to ensure anonymous access was turned off (this was an issue I had earlier on in my setup - it was turned on, but is now firmly off).
I don't know much about IIS, but I guess the problem is there somewhere. Does anybody have any idea what the problem could be and how I get around it?
Hi, I'm a beginner on SQL Server Reporting Services field. I perform a full installation of SQL Server 2008 CTP6 Developer Editon on a clean Windows Server 2008 Enterprise machine. I log on to the machine using the built-in Administrator account so there is no UAC stuff. The Enhanced Security Configuration of IE is disabled. When I want to have a look at the Report Manager by typing http://localhost/Reports, it pops up an error says "The underlying connection was closed. Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel." It makes me confused so any help or suggestion is highly appreciated.

Hello all - this has now happened to me on a few occasions (different installs, different sites, etc.), but my client PCs cannot access Report Manager by the server's hostname (even though I can ping by hostname from the client).
For instance, if I try:
http://ovenserver/reports
I get the infamous "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" message.
If I try:
http://10.0.0.20/reports
The Report Manager loads properly without a hitch.
I know I am missing something simple here - can anyone help?
what is MS's strategy for having two off the shelf ways of getting at reports? In a typical company, is the average non administrator type user getting at his reports via one, the other, both?
We are currently having an issue with a Reporting Services deployment which is being accessed through Tivoli Access Manager (with a custom SSRS security extension).
When you try to launch Report Builder, we receive the following error when ClickOnce tries to validate the deployed app (Report Builder works fine when accessed outside of the Tivoli Access Manager environment):
ERROR DETAILS Following errors were detected during this operation. * [20/03/2008 2:49:35 PM] System.Deployment.Application.InvalidDeploymentException (HashValidation) - File, ReportBuilder.exe, has a different computed hash than specified in manifest. - Source: System.Deployment
Can anyone shed any light on what might be causing this?
All of the components (including the manifest) are downloaded to the client correctly so the authentication seems to be working and it works outside of TAM so there is no issue with the files on teh server having changed etc. either.
When I go into Report Manager, http://localhost/reports, and try running a report it is giving me this error message:
The request failed with HTTP status 401: Access Denied
But if I go directly to the Report Server, http://localhost/reportserver, and try running a report there then everything is fine.
Does anyone know why it is doing this all of a sudden? I did change the Reports app in ISS to allow anonymous access but have since changed it back, and it still gives this error.
I'm getting a blank Report Manager Page or a recurring username popup for users from another domain added to Reporting Services. Adding the users to the Local Administrators group on the Reporting Services server solves the problem but for security reasons this obviously is not ideal.
I've tried adding a Global Group from the other domain to a local group on the RS server and adding the local group to RS as a role. I've tried adding the Global Group from the other domain as a role. I've tried adding individual users from the other domain to RS I've tried adding the Domain Users group from the other domain to the Local Users Group on the RS Server.
What am I missing? It should be as simple as "click, click, add group and like magic, it works"
I came across a SQL 2000 instance with a report server database on it - looking at the execution log storage I can see that its still being used and running the following query tells me that the connections are coming from the same server: SELECT hostname, * FROM sysprocesses WHERE dbid = DB_ID ('ReportServer') but I cant find the SSRS instance in the services -Did it work differently with SQL 2000? How can I find the report manager URL?
Hello,I'm having some problems using the Report Manager, but I *really* needto make a role assignment now. Can't wait to have the problem withReport Manager solved.So, I would like to make this role assignment directly in theReportServer database, using the SP SetPolicy or some other SP.I'm looking for the equivalent of making the "New Role Assignment" andthenGroup or user name: EveryoneRole "Browser" checkedOKCan anyone tell me exactly how to do this?Thanks in advance,Filipe HenriquesPS: By the way, the problem I've got using the Report Manager is thatalways appear "The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.",although I can see perfectly the Report Server page.Does anyone knows what's the problem?
Since migrating Reporting Services from SQL 2005 to SQL 2008, the Last Run date, visible on the Details view of reports in a folder under Report Manager, has been blank. I would hope that this is supposed to be populated and equivalent to the "When Run" date visible in the 2005 version of Report Manager. Any setting that needs to be configured in order for this to show, or if this has been reported as a bug?
I am able to preview my report in Microsoft Visual Studio with a chart embedded at the top of the report. However after uploading the report to Report Manager, the chart is blank. How can I get the chart to be visible in Report Manager? I am using SQL Server 2012 on a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine. I can see the chart if I edit the report in Report Building in the print layout mode. I can also see the chart in my Microsoft Visual Studio Project.
I'm new to SSRS. I've installed SQL Server 2014 on my Windows 7 machine and logged in web interface at localhost/Reports, created data source with ODBC driver connecting to my PostgreSQL database, I've selected "Credentials stored securely in the report server" and provided login and password. Now I wanted to create some test report. So I clicked on Report Builder which launched a desktop application (not ideal I must say) where I tried to click through a wizard to create some report.
I tried table wizard, selected "Create a dataset" and selected my data source. It asked me to provide password again and then I got following error:
ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
Even though test connection works just fine, even from that very same window.
So my questions are:
How do I fix that issue so I could create reports using SSRS and my PostgreSQL database?How do I embed the user/password into connection so users don't have to re-enter the password? The reason is, I want to create data source through SSRS API from my own application and I don't want to have users be bothered with passwords
Just to clarify - I tried creating ODBC data source through admin tools in Control pannel and gave it the same name but it didn't work, both SQL Server and PostgreSQL are installed on the same machine.Â
I just created a report builder. I have a main report and i wanted to create a sub report. why i cant or i cant view the path or the folder of my .rdl file to be use as my sub report.
