Model Item Security Setting
Jan 4, 2008
Hi
I just deploy a report model and want use report builder to create ad-hoc using this report model.
I want some entitis and attributes are not visiable for some user, so I config the model item security for this model.
But no matter which user I use to login the report server, I always can access all the entities.
Even I delete all the groups and users in "Permissions" property of the model, I still can access this model through report builder.
All the user I used to test are local user of server with report service, my server is SQL Server 2005+SP2.
How can I fix it?

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,
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,
I would like to demonstrate mining temporary models in an ASP.NET application.
Creating, trainning, predicating actions are all witten at C# codes as follows:
Code Snippet
using (AdomdCommand cmd = new AdomdCommand())
{
// Build temporary mining model
cmd.Connection = asConn;
cmd.CommandText = "CREATE SESSION MINING MODEL " + modelName +
" (" +
"HCVS_MemberId Text KEY," +
"HCVS_MeasureDate DATE KEY TIME, " +
"SysPressure LONG CONTINUOUS PREDICT, " +
"DiaPressure LONG CONTINUOUS PREDICT," +
"Pluse LONG CONTINUOUS PREDICT" +
") " +
"USING Microsoft_Time_Series(Missing_Value_Substitution='Mean' ) "; // Periodicity_Hint = '{12}'
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
// Train Data
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO " + modelName + " (HCVS_MemberId, HCVS_MeasureDate, SysPressure, DiaPressure, Pluse) " +
"OPENQUERY([Healthcare], " +
" 'SELECT HCVS_MemberId, HCVS_MeasureDate, SysPressure,DiaPressure,Pluse" +
" FROM v_VitalSignForecast WHERE HCVS_MemberId=''" + id + "'' AND HCVS_MeasureDate>=''" + from.ToShortDateString() + "'' AND HCVS_MeasureDate<=''" + to.ToShortDateString() +"'' ')";
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
// Predict upon the Train Data. In addition, the standard deviation of each predicated value is retrieved
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT FLATTENED " +
"( SELECT *, " +
" SysPressure + PredictStdev(SysPressure) AS [SysPressure_PlusStdev], " +
" SysPressure - PredictStdev(SysPressure) AS [SysPressure_MinusStdev] " +
"FROM PredictTimeSeries(SysPressure, " + fDays + ") AS SysTable " +
") " +
"FROM " + modelName ;
AdomdDataAdapter adapter = new AdomdDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet sysDS = new DataSet();
adapter.Fill(sysDS);
The problem is that I do not know how to configure my Analysis Service Server to let ASP.NET account can utilize it. And ASP.NET account in trun impersonates the account who is authorized to use Healthcare DB in the Openquery. Please give a help. Thanks a lot.

I have a requirement to create a Report Builder Model programmatically and include only a subset of the Entities (Tables) in the Database referenced by the Data Source. What I have to do is create pre-filtered 'datasets' with application security (Role, User) already applied.
When I build a Model via GenerateModel() I get every table. This is because, unlike using Model Designer, I do not get to pick and choose which tables are to be included in the Data Source View.
Note: I cannot apply any security to the Model itself. This is as painful as applying security (table, column, row) directly to the database.
The answer is to set the Hidden 'property' at the Entity Level. I was hoping to use GetProperties() and SetProperties() but this is limited to Catalog Items? I know I can do this by 'editing' the SMDL(XML) and inserting
<Hidden>true</Hidden>
for the Entities I don't want to see but there *has* to be a better way.

Hello,
Can somebody explain the process for implementing Item-Level security for reports? My requirement is as follows:
I have some reports pertaining to a specific department, where in I deployed them to a specific folder on Reporting Services. Now I need to give exclusive read access to those reports for the users in that department. They should not be able to create any folders / new reports etc.
The steps I have followed:
1. Deployed the reports from VS 2005 to a specific folder called "TheirReports" and in this I placed the Data source also as a seperate folder.
2. I clicked on Site Settings in Report Manager and then clicked on Configure Item-Level role definitions.
3. Clicked on New Role and gave a name as ReportsBrowser and checked the options --> "View Data sources / View folders / View reports / View resources"
4. Now I went back to the specific folder and clicked on Properties -> Security -> New Role Assignment.
5. Added the necessary users binding them to ReportsBroser role.
When I'm checking from the user machine, they are able to create new folders etc.
Appreciate your ideas.
Thanks

I have a TSQL script that restores a production database to my localdevelopment machine. Every time I do a restore, I have to go intoEnterprise Manager and set the recover model to simple to preventWindows XP Backup from having shadow copy problems (that is a rant inand of itself). I would like to just add a statement at the bottom ofthe script to do this, but have yet to find the proper commandsdocumented.

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

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.)

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 all,
Okay, here's my problem:
After I login into the Reports Server (<servername>/Reports1/Pages/UILogon.aspx?) the Home page is blank ( accpet for links to Home |MySubscriptions | Help in the upper right corner). Please read on before thinking you know the answer. I am using Reporting Services with Forms Authentication with a custom security extension. In the LogonUser methothd I validate the user and return True if the user is good. Should I be doing anything else in this method or any of the other methods in my custom extension? I'm asking because, I can use Sql Server Management Studio to login into the Reporting Server, view any folders such as the Data Sources or Models folder, but can't make any changes. In the Users table in the ReportServer database the user I'm logging in with has a UserType of 0 and AuthType of 3. I've tride changing these to match the BUILTINAdministrators user but still no luck. Also, I can not login as the BUILTINAdministrators because that user would not be in our database. Any help with this is appreciated. Thanks.

I have a question on the security model for MSRS 2005. I have been working with the permissions for the reporting server folders and reports at my company. Now it seems to me that I can let a user have access to a folder but they will not be able to see any reports that they do not have permissions to see. This would seem different from the Windows Security model where I can see an executable but not actually execute it. (ie. In MSRS the user would be able to see the report but not execute it)
Am I correct in this assumption or is there a way to allow the user to see the report but not execute it using the MSRS permissions.

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?

Hello--
We're running into an issue where analysts are having problems obtaining lift charts (via the Mining Accuracy Chart UI available in the Visual Studio Analysis Services project) and performing prediction (via the Mining Model Prediction UI).
The issue seems to be related to the underlying analyst security model. Note that this post is related to:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=924641&SiteID=1
Analysts that work on the same problem will only have access to:
- A sandbox relational database (which contains views into the same source database). The analyst is db_owner of the sandbox database, so she/he can create data transformations required, etc. The sandbox database contains views to the source database, but the analyst only has read-access to the specific data elements needed from the source DB. So, they are very restricted w.r.t. the source database, but are db_owners of their sandbox relational databases. Note that the analyst will connect to he database via Windows Authentication.
- An Analysis Services sandbox database to use for their modeling, etc. In this AS sandbox db, we've created a role called "Administrator" and checked the permissions: Full control (Administrator), Process database, and Read definition. The analyst's windows account is the "user" associated with this role.
Also, in this situation, the SQL Server 2005 Relational Engine and Analysis Services are running on a single machine. The goal of this security model is to provide analysts with the ability to work in their "workspaces" (both SQL and AS), but not to see other analysts work, etc.
Under this model, Analysts are able to deploy mining models when the Data Source object that points to their relational "sandbox" DB is set-up with "Impersonation Information" = "Use a specific user name and password", where the Analyst provides their domain account information.
But, when trying to build a lift chart using the same data source view objects that were used to successfully train the model, the following error is occurring consistently:
Window Title: "Loading Mining Accuracy Chart"
Window Text: "Failed to execute the query due to the following error: Execution of the managed stored rocedure GenerateLiftTableUsingDatasource failed with the following error: Exception has been thrown by the target of invocation. Either '<domain><login>' user does not have permission to access the '' object, or the object does not exist. Errors in the high-level relational engine. A connection could not be made to the data source specified in the query. Errors in the high-level relational engine. A connection could not be made to the data source specified in the query.."
Since the Analyst was able to build the model with her/his given '<domain><login>' credentials, it is puzzling why the lift chart is failing.
Thanks in advance for your help,
- Paul

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?

I am having a little trouble with my SRS installation. I have a fresh-out of the box server running Win 2003. I installed SQL & SRS on it. I have successfully deployed my report project and can run reports, etc.
The problem is, even when logged in on the console as the local admin, I can't seem to perform the usual administrative functions on the report server- simple things like hide items in list view. I have no menu options for any of the security stuff, either. I though that the local admin was able to do these things by default. I have a feeling that this has something to do with active directory & role membership? It is like the administrator only has guest privledges.
When I connect to the report server from management studio, I can see the roles but no information about users, no options ot add users to the roles, either. My goal is to simply add a user (Administrator) to the proper role to be able to configure the report server environment.
For what it is worth, this box is simply set up in my home office, no domain, etc. Please be gentle, I am mainly a SQL geek, very little knowledge of Server OS & Windows security.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

My company is new to MDS. I am trying to set an attritube in an entity to read only so the users can't change the value in that field. When I did that, the whole model disappeared. I thought I had deleted it by accident so I created a test model and tried to do the same. The test model disappeared. This time, before saving the new settings I took a snapshot. After saving I took another snapshot. You can see that the whole model is gone (zz_RN_Permissions_Test). I tried every other coworker with admin rights and nobody shows it on the Models list. The behavior on the Excel add-in is correct. I can't change any values on that column. But I need to keep the models available.
See before and after snapshots below.

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 am working on the security model for an application that will be used by 100s of users with a dedicated SQL 2005 database for this application and access via SQL XML Web Services.
The client has asked to make it "open" during alpha testing such that anyone can access the web services without having to set them up first. Is there a way to do this? The best I can figure is to use mixed mode security and hard code a login and password. Any method using Windows authentication would require that I add every user at a minimum to the database.
In production, all users will have an active directory role specified that determines if they should have access to the web services or not. However, it is my understanding that to use Windows authentication, I would still need to add each individual user at a minimum as a Login to the SQL Server, and under best practices also as database users with permissions granted to the endpoint.
Am I correct in the above, or is there a more efficient way to achieve these results?
Thanks

I'm attempting to setup the defaco MS security for membership and roles, using a newly created database under SQL 2005 (not express). I created the database using the aspnet_regsql.exe utility and that worked fine. I created my provider connection string logging in as 'sa' wit the proper password. All that seemed to work okay too. However when I attempt to change any of the settings like setting the authentication type or enabling roles, I get the follwing error message: The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation. at System.Security.AccessControl.Win32.SetSecurityInfo(ResourceType type, String name, SafeHandle handle, SecurityInfos securityInformation, SecurityIdentifier owner, SecurityIdentifier group, GenericAcl sacl, GenericAcl dacl) at System.Security.AccessControl.NativeObjectSecurity.Persist(String name, SafeHandle handle, AccessControlSections includeSections, Object exceptionContext) at System.Security.AccessControl.NativeObjectSecurity.Persist(String name, AccessControlSections includeSections) at System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemSecurity.Persist(String fullPath) at System.IO.File.SetAccessControl(String path, FileSecurity fileSecurity) at System.Configuration.Internal.WriteFileContext.DuplicateTemplateAttributes(String source, String destination) at System.Configuration.Internal.WriteFileContext.DuplicateFileAttributes(String source, String destination) at System.Configuration.Internal.WriteFileContext.Complete(String filename, Boolean success) at System.Configuration.Internal.InternalConfigHost.StaticWriteCompleted(String streamName, Boolean success, Object writeContext, Boolean assertPermissions) at System.Configuration.Internal.InternalConfigHost.System.Configuration.Internal.IInternalConfigHost.WriteCompleted(String streamName, Boolean success, Object writeContext, Boolean assertPermissions) at System.Configuration.Internal.InternalConfigHost.System.Configuration.Internal.IInternalConfigHost.WriteCompleted(String streamName, Boolean success, Object writeContext) at System.Configuration.Internal.DelegatingConfigHost.WriteCompleted(String streamName, Boolean success, Object writeContext) at System.Configuration.UpdateConfigHost.WriteCompleted(String streamName, Boolean success, Object writeContext) at System.Configuration.MgmtConfigurationRecord.SaveAs(String filename, ConfigurationSaveMode saveMode, Boolean forceUpdateAll) at System.Configuration.Configuration.SaveAsImpl(String filename, ConfigurationSaveMode saveMode, Boolean forceSaveAll) at System.Configuration.Configuration.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode saveMode) at System.Web.Administration.WebAdminPage.SaveConfig(Configuration config) at ASP.security_setupauthentication_aspx.UpdateAndReturnToPreviousPage(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument) at System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)Anyone have any clue why this is happening?

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--
We have a current situation where analysts will be modeling a variety of problems, all stemming from the same source data (stored in a SQL-Server 2005 relational database).
Analysts that work on the same problem will only have access to:
- A sandbox relational database (which contains views into the same source database). The analyst is db_owner of the sandbox database, so she/he can create data transformations required, etc. The sandbox database contains views to the source database, but the analyst only has read-access to the specific data elements needed from the source DB. So, they are very restricted w.r.t. the source database, but are db_owners of their sandbox relational databases. Note that the analyst will connect to the database via Windows Authentication.
- An Analysis Services sandbox database to use for their modeling, etc. In this AS sandbox db, we've created a role called "Administrator" and checked the permissions: Full control (Administrator), Process database, and Read definition. The analyst's windows account is the "user" associated with this role.
Also, in this situation, the SQL Server 2005 Relational Engine and Analysis Services are running on a single machine. The goal of this security model is to provide analysts with the ability to work in their "workspaces" (both SQL and AS), but not to see other analysts work, etc.
I'm running into a problem when trying to build models using this security model by doing the following:
- Running Visual Studio
- Selecting File -> Open -> Analysis Services Database and choosing the AS DB that I have access to (this is the only one that appears in the drop-down, after specifying the AS server).
- I've created a data source pointing to the relational sandbox DB.
- I've created a data source view choosing the table/view needed for the case table.
- I created a mining structure with a decision tree model
When I process the mining structure, I'm getting the following errors:
- If the data source Impersonation is "Default" -- the error is "The datasource, '<DS name>', contains an ImpersonationMode that is not supported for processing operations."
- If the data source Impersonation is "Use the credentials of the current user" -- the error is the same as "Default" above -- "The datasource, '<DS name>', contains an ImpersonationMode that is not supported for processing operations."
- If I change the data source Impersonation to "Use the service account" and select "OK" in the "Data Source Designer" window, and error comes up with message: "The ImpersonationInfo for '<DS name>' contains an ImpersonationMode that can only be used by a server administrator.
Any suggestions or pointers to help implement this security model to provide analysts with AS and SQL Relational resources for their modeling?
Thanks,
- Paul

Is there a seperate security setting specifically for management studio?
The user has:
The dbCreator Server Role
Is mapped to the development database as dbo with datareader/datawriter/db owner/public role
Is mapped to master reader/writer/public
Is mapped to model reader/writer public
Is mapped to msdb reader/writer public
Is mapped to tempdb reader/writer publuc
This is probably more security than the user needs, but was grasping at straws to let them edit stored procedures...

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2005 Express on a Windows 2000 server, but I'm getting the following error message:
"Failure setting security rights on user account SQLServer2005BrowserUser${computerName}"
Can anyone help me please?
