How To Create/enable Row Level Security Using An Indirect Match On A Report Model
Feb 13, 2008
I've been through a number of tutorials on how to enable row-level security based on a userID, but my problem is more complicated and I do not have sufficient understanding of report models to guess.
My security information is defined in a table within my database. It contains a username and an account mask. An account mask maps to 1 or more account codes contained in the other data tables in my report model. A user may have more than one account mask defined for his account.
I understand the concept of directly mapping the logged-in user to a field containing a matching username. Is it possible to do a two-step mapping, so that based on the user ID I can get the account mask(s) and then evaluate which account codes match the mask(s)?
Or is there a different/better way to set this up? Defining SQL roles/groups is not an option, because of some compatibility issues with external systems.
So far, because my security table has no defined relationship with the data tables, I have not even been able to get it into my report model (Would love any suggestions on that one, too.)
I'd appreciate any ideas or suggestions - even if only something to investigate.
Thanks,
Sarah

I have been playing with SRS 2005 for a few months now and have a decent setup going but am strugling with model security.
I have set my selected users up in the home folder and also as site users in site settings, they can launch the report builder and create reports fine.
HOWEVER
I intend to use the software accross multiple systems ie WMS, TMS, Finance package, T&A and therefore I only want the WMS users to see the WMS models and T&A users to only see the T&A models etc
No matter what settings are adjusted it seems that if you can launch the report builder then you can access all models and this poses an issue for me as systems like T&A and financials that I need to be as secure as possible.
I am aware that I can limit access to to models using Management studio but it seems to be basically on a column basis rather than the whole model.
Help!!!
Also aware of the fact im an idiot and basically posted the same thing 5 or 6 times! Hopefully the others are deleted

Hi,
I am trying to use a very easy and simple feature of a reportmodel, model item security.
In my example i have two users; HGHJohn and HGHJKooi
I want to test if I am able to restrict access in the model to a whole entity. HGHJKooi shouldn't be able to see the entity 'Customers'.
These are the steps I executed:
1. In Sqlserver management studio I opened the properties of my model and navigated to the tabpage 'model item security'.
2. I activated the option 'secure individual model items...'
3. In the root of the model I declared two users(groups) as specified above
4. Automatically all nodes inherit these settings from the root.
5. For the entity 'Relations' I change the default, by selecting 'use these roles for each group or user account'
6. I removed HGHJKooi from this list, leaving only 'HGHJohn as model item browser
What I expected at this moment is that when I login the system as HGHJKooi, then I won't see this entity, but I still can! Does anybody know a solution to this problem?

Hi all
I have created security roles that restrict access to a certain Dimension
and a member therein.
The security works fine when the users finened in it runs a report:
The data is accordingley ristricted.
The problem is when those same users run Report Builder and create a report,
those members are no longer restricted and they have acces to absoluteley
all data from the cubes.
Is there some way that I can force the Data Model to follow the cube's security roles?
Any help is much appreciated...
Gerhard Davids
EDIT:
I have found that it uses the wrong user when opening report builder.
For some reason it uses my windows account instead of the one I used to log onto
report manager. This is way the security isnt working
Any thoughts what may be causing this?

Hi,
I have a question here for report model generated on top of SSAS 2005. If security has been defined in SSAS 2005 cube where RoleA only have access to certain dimension, is this security setting integrated with the report model and propogate down to the report builder when used where RoleA users have no access to dimension allowed?
Thanks,

I work on test SSRS setup and trying to give one user enough rights so she can download RDLs from server, but no matter what I do on Folder leverl, on report level her security are still only as a <Browser>. Structure of our Server is:
Home/NewReports/Misc/Report01.
I'm checking those in <Folder Settings>/<Security> where this user is OK (Browser, Content Manager, Publisher, Report Builder).
So she looks OK in all folders Home/NewReports/Misc, but on report level she still only a browser.
Our db team tried everything on SSRS server working with Site settings and Folder option, how to make that report inherit security ?

Hello,
What we'd like to do is programmatically generate and maintain a report model based on how the individual install is configured. I've found some documentation that makes me believe this is possible, but I'm hoping someone can nudge me in the right direction. The ReportingServices2005 class has several model related methods (CreateModel) and I found the .xsd for the semantic model XML file
(http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/10/semanticmodeling/SemanticModeling.xsd),
but no real documentation on how to put together a Report Model document from scratch. Looking at the files generated from BIDS is somewhat overwhelming and I have no idea where I'd pull most of the information.
Finally, I want to create Report Model(.smdl) file without Report Model Designer.
I want to Implement CreateModel Method to create new model, any source code sample..??
Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Sandip.

Hello!
I've created a data source that uses the OLE DB Provider for Teradata to connect to an existing Teradata database. Works fine.
I then use this data source within my project to create a Data Source View. Again, all works well.
However, the final step - creating a Report Model, bombs out in the wizard at the Completing the Wizard step with the following error: "[NCR][Teradata Database] Syntax error, expected something like a name between the 'SET' keyword and the 'TRANSACTION' keyword." (I elected for the wizard to only create entities for all tables, and create attributes).
If I try to create a Model manually, I get the following error when trying to build: "The Entity '<EntityName>' does not have any IdentifyingAttributes. Entity must have at least one IdentifyingAttribute."
Still fairly new to SSRS, so I'm hoping the issue is just a loose nut behind the keyboard Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong in trying to set this up?
Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to create a few report models in Visual Studio to demonstrate the Report Builder tool and I'm encountering an issue when I try to generate a Report Model.
I get the error message "Specified Method Is Not Supported" when I click Finish on the Report Model wizard. The error detail is:
===================================
Specified method is not supported. (Microsoft Visual Studio)
------------------------------
Program Location:
at Microsoft.ReportingServices.ModelDesigner.Wizards.ChooseSemanticModelName.CreateSqlDsvStatisticsProvider(IDbConnection connection)
at Microsoft.ReportingServices.ModelDesigner.Wizards.ChooseSemanticModelName.BuildModel()
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new Report Model project in Visual Studio 2005 against SQL Server 2005
2. Create a new data source. The data source was tested and works correctly
3. Create a new data source view. The data source view was also tested (clicked on Explore Data) and I was able to look at the data in the view
4. Right-click on Report Models and select "Add New Report Model"
5. Click next at the welcome screen
6. Select the data source view created in #3
7. Leave the selected options for report model generation rules for creating the data source view
(Create Entities for all Tables, Create Count Aggregates, Create Attributes, Create Attributes for auto-increment columns, Create date variations, Create numeric aggregates, Create date aggregates, Create roles were all selected)
8. Click next
9. Select Update Model Statistics Before Generating (default option)
10. Click next
11. Click Run
Once I click run it processes for approx 3 seconds and then returns the error above.
If anyone could help me I'd appreciate it. Microsoft hasn't published any details on the namespace and I'm not sure why I'd be getting the error I am.
Thanks in advane,
Maurice

Hi,
I have found that in the autogenerated model attributes are missing for those fields that have relations to other tables. At first, it may look reasonable since a user can still get down to the field's value through the relation/related table. However, if the relation's key fields is the only thing the user wants to display, then going down to the related table is an overkill.
I can add an attribute manually and bind it to the key field(s). Is there an option in the autogeneration process to do it automatically? The only post I've found so far suggests to do everything manually (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1152575&SiteID=1). Is this the only way?
Thank you,
Leonid

Hi,
I have a package that uses a Configuration of type SQL Server where the property values are held.
This runs successfully using this direct configurations.
When I use an Indirect configuration using an environment variable to point to this SQL Server configuration type the package won't even validate.
The Indirect Configuration is:
[EHC-SQLD-01.].[SSISConfigsDEV];[dbo].[SSIS Configurations DEV];pkgLRD CED Import;
which follows the standard of : db connections, config table, filter
This works by the way on my client but on the dev server the error is:
Error: The connection "[EHC-SQLD-01].SSISConfigsDEV" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.
I've tried every combination for the env variable using quotes, full computer name etc (I thought it was the hyphens in the name), but can't seem to get it to work.
I've also tried as both user and system env variables but made no difference (which one should we use for SSIS anyway as BOL doesn't state this ?)
Appreciate any help. I'm trying to deploy this on the Dev server for testing.
Thanks

Hi,
I have posted this issue for a week, haven't got any reply yet, I posted it again and desperately need your help.
The article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365343.aspx says:
Model Item Security can be set for differnt security filters, but when I use SQL Server Management Studio to set Model Item Security, it seems "Permissions" property surpass "Model Item Security" property. -- My report server is using Custom Authentication.
For example, in "Permissions" property of the model, if I checked "Use these roles for each group or user account" without setting any user or group, no matter what users I added to "Model Item Security" with "Secure individual model items independently for this model" checked, NO one user can see the model on report manager and report builder;
in above situation, if I added "user1" and gave role such as "Browser" role to "user1" in "Permissions" property, if I checked "Secure individual model items independently for this model" in "Model Item Security" property, even I did NOT grant "user1" to root model and any entities under the model, the "user1" is able to access the model and all entities in report builder.
My question is on the same report model, how to set "AdminFilter" (empty security filter) for administrator permissions and set "GeneralFilter" (filtered on UserID) for general user based on their UserID?
The article also says:
"Security filters are always applied, even for users who have Content Manager or Administrator permissions to the model. To allow administrators or other users to see all rows of an entity on which row-level security is defined, you can create an empty security filter (which always returns True) and then use the filter to grant those users access to all the rows."
So I defined 2 filters "GeneralFilter" and "AdminFilter" for "Staff" entity for my report model "SSRSModel", I expect after I deployed the report model, the administrator users use report builder to build reports with all rows available, and the non-admin users can only see rows based on their UserID.
I can only get one result at a time but not both:
either the rows are filtered or not filtered at all, no matter how I set the "SecurityFilter" for the entity: I tried setting both "AdminFilter" and "GeneralFilter" for SecurityFilter at the same time, combination of "DefaultSecurityFilter" and "SecurityFilter", or one at a time.
Your help is highly appreciated!

Hi all,
I need some sugestions from all of you about setting up security model in
our SQL2000 box.
The server was setup using Mixed mode. However, all the applications
(web and MS access) access the server using "sa" userid.
There are several databases in our server. Ex: (DB1,DB2,DB3,DB4 and DB5)
Application 1: need read/write access to DB1,DB2 and DB3
Application 2: need read/write access to DB5
Application 3: need read/write access to DB4 and DB3
Should I set up three userids and give them the dbo access to those
database that they need to use?
Does that make any sense to you?
Thank you for all your suggestion

Hi Folks,
I have the following Problem:
( not simular to
http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=101916 )
In one Table ( Objects ) exists an Id to my internal Security Tables, where the combination of many Features together results in, which Data the user could see.
Today, i use only one SQL Account and the Security ist solved in my Application,
In an SP is a where Clause generated, every SQL Statement is extended whitch this where clause.
This work fine, but everyone with SQL User and PW could see everything this the Query Analyser or Management Studio.
The perfect solition could be:
Several Usergroups should have Access to my DB.
Only a few Views / SP where execuable for these Usergroups.
The Application calls alway the same View / SP an depending on the Login the Data ist filtered in the right way.
Is ist possible to filter a view with dynamic SQL ?
2.nd Question:
Is it possible to restrict Users / roles depending on the Network IP Address / Network Mask ?
The Security Problem only exists, when Users with VPN are connecting, internal Users always have full access.
Thanks an greeting from Germany,
Markus

I am attempting to create a view only user in Report Manager which can only view and run reports from a single directory. I have the following configured:
Active directory Group: DomainReport Users - Group Scope: Global; Group Type: Security; Member of: <none>
Active directory User: DomainReportUser - Member of: DomainReport Users group
Default web site Reports virtual directory: Directory security: Integrated Windows Authentication only
Default web site ReportServer virtual directory: Directory security: Enable Anonymous Access (user: domainadministrator) & Integrated Windows Authentication
Report Manager
Site Settings->Item-level roles: New role: Report Viewer; view folders and view reports only items selected
ReportFolder(Report Manager folder with reports): Properties->Security: Added DomainReportUser with Report Viewer role
When I go to my Report Manager site (e.g. http://url/reports) I get the Windows security form, in which I enter the DomainReportUser credentials. However, after I log in I have full rights to all folders and functions of Report Manager, as if I logged in as BuiltinAdministrator.
At what level of security is this breaking down? As far as role-based, I believe DomainReportUser should only have access to limited resources of Report Manager when logging on. What is allowing him to have Content Manager control of Report Manager? Is there a better way to set up a "view reports only" user access to Report Manager?
Thanks

Posting again in hopes that someone has a solution..
I've set up a sales report that is by territory. Two tables one of which has
sales detail records and another table with Sales Rep info, including territory and
login.. The two tables are joined by state. What I need to be able to do is schedule
this report to run on Reporting services(Already setup) and only allow the reps
to view a snapshot, don't want anyone executing the report again. Additionally,
I need them to only see the territory that they are responsible for. Does anyone
have a solution for this.

Deployed Report having SSIS package as source do not work when Indirect Package configuration is used in ETL package. It seems ETL package when called/executed from Report manager does not recognize environment variable to pick up the dtsconfig file.
The Report works when Direct package configuration is used to same dtsconfig file.
What could be the reason? Any solution for this? This will cause our build/deployment to QA and Prod very difficult.

I'm a bear with a very little brain. Please review the following story to see if I understand the concepts.
For the purposes of this exercise let's say that a database is used to control a building's HVAC (Heating, ventilation and cooling) system. It's installed by the HVAC vendor, who installs client software on the PC's in the building. This software allows the occupants of the building to alter the setting of the HVAC system. A young and foolish programmer/DBA - eager to show his mettle - accepts the responsibility of overseeing the system to make sure it works. What could go wrong? Easy money.
Given: A database that contains securable. (Tables, views, schema's etc).
By the second week, there is always someone complaining that it's too hot, too cold, too noisy (fans on too high). Everyone is setting their own settings. No one is happy - the only thing that they agree on is that the system doesn't work - and it's up to the less-young and less-foolish programmer/DBA to fix it.
Option #1: Create an Application Role (AIR_GOD) to control who can really write to the thermostat tables. This effectively blocks anyone who doesn't know the AIR_GOD password from fiddling. This password is only given to a carefully selected few.
Two weeks and fourteen passwords later:
Option #2: Create a fixed database role (AIR_GOD2) and drop only the selected few logins into it. (Our programmer is learning)
It helps. But since the users can access the whole thermostat-table - they end up setting each other's zones settings - sometimes by accident. Sometimes the values entered are insane.
Option #3: Create a Data Access Layer (DAL) Our programmer/DBA learns fast - he removes update rights to the thermostat-table from all users with a login. Now the only way to change a thermostat-table setting is through the stored-procedure(s) with the 'user without a login' impersonation. Values are checked before they're written etc.
Is that about right?
(Our story ends with the programmer/DBA growing older and wiser vowing never - ever - ever - to get involved with HVAC control systems again.)

Hey,
I have 3 columns in a table Ex:
Select Column1,Column2,Column from TableName
No. 1. Person A should have permission to read values only (Column1, Column3 of the table) -
2. Person B, should have permission to read only (Column 2).
Here my question is , I have to write one single stored procedure to statisfy both conditions. Which means, if person A execute this stored procedure , he shoud get only column 1 & 3 values . similarly other person b should get column 2 value. Ex:
Column 1 - Empid
Column 2 - SSN (Only for Top user display)
Column 3 - Join Date
Person A & B as a SQL or Windows login
