Programmatically Adding Users To SSRS?
Nov 9, 2007
Hi,
I€™m looking for a way to add users to view reports in SSRS. We have set up SSRS to use forms authentication and have been running with no problems for a few months now. When we add new users to the aspnetdb we also have to go into management studio and give them permission to view reports. (Currently all users have the same permission which is set in the root folder policy in SSRS)
We have now set up a .NET application which allows our client to manage their users online, however they don€™t have the knowledge or access to Management Studio in order to permit new users to access reports.
Is there a way, through SP or .NET script to programmatically add users to the policy / security descriptor in SSRS. I have already been playing with the XML Description in the SecDesc table of the ReportingServices database. This seems to contain all the necessary data, but modifying doesn€™t work. In the same table is a Binary SecDesc field which I suspect has complementary data to go with it. Is there a way of generating this data?
Any help with this, or another method will be greatly appreciated.
Sean.

We have an existing SSRS server, and have just created a new child domain. We'll be migrating users from the parent to the child, and want to add the users of that new domain with access to SSRS. In the parent domain they are able to access, but after migration with the child domain account, they cannot.
I have added the group CHILDDomain Users with a system user role on SSRS, and PARENTDomain Users was already there.
Is there any additional step I should/could take to get this active?

Hi,
I want to drop users programmatically, is this possible? I tried
create PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_DelAllUnusedLogins] AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @UserName nvarchar(128)
DECLARE user_cursor CURSOR FOR
select name from sys.sysusers where status=12 and name
not in ('NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM','dbo')
OPEN user_cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM user_cursor INTO @UserName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DROP USER @UserName
FETCH NEXT FROM user_cursor INTO @UserName
END
CLOSE user_cursor
DEALLOCATE user_cursor
END
But @UserName isn't accepted..

HI guys,
I want to add some customized text to the report programmatically before the report is rendered. As it has to be done for all the reports, I don't want to do it report by report.
For example, the report needs to display user selected filters.
Any thoughts?

I am trying to create a package that reads an input file or input table, does a fuzzy lookup, and outputs results to another table. I was wondering if this can be done programmatically? I have tried adding the fuzzy lookup component like this:
IDTSComponentMetaData90 FuzzyLookupDF = dataFlow.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New();
FuzzyLookupDF.ComponentClassID = "Fuzzy Lookup";
FuzzyLookupDF.Name = "FuzzyLookup";
I wondering how I can change the properties, such as what the input column is, reference table, lookup column, etc? I am not even sure if this can be done; if it can, I'd like some guidance on what the properties I would need to change are.
Thanks!

Dear all,
I am developing tools for automatic creation of data warehouse tables, cubes and SSIS packages. Generating the SSIS Data Flows works very well using the SSIS components for OLE DB Source, Derived Column, Lookup and OLE DB Destination.
However for some of the advanced functionality I need to use Script Component. I have managed to add it in the Data Flow with all inputs and outputs, but how do I populate it with my code? I've seen there is a component property called "SourceCode" and one called "BinaryCode". The "SourceCode" contains the code, but also some extra metadata.
Questions:
Do you know if there is any programmatic support to generate the Source Code property with the metadata necessary?
Do you know how to compile the Source Code and generate the property BinaryCode?
Example from my code below:
// Create script component
IDTSComponentMetaData90 script = dataFlowTask.ComponentMetaDataCollection.New();
script.ComponentClassID = app.PipelineComponentInfos["Script Component"].CreationName;
CManagedComponentWrapper scriptWrapper = script.Instantiate();
script.InputCollection.New();
script.OutputCollection.New();
scriptWrapper.ProvideComponentProperties();
script.Name = "Logics";
// Create path
IDTSPath90 scriptPath = dataFlowTask.PathCollection.New();
scriptPath.AttachPathAndPropagateNotifications(lastComponent.OutputCollection[0], script.InputCollection[0]);
// Populate input and output columns
IDTSInput90 scriptInput = script.InputCollection[0];
IDTSVirtualInput90 scriptVInput = scriptInput.GetVirtualInput();
foreach (IDTSOutputColumn90 col in oledbSrc.OutputCollection[0].OutputColumnCollection)
{
scriptWrapper.SetUsageType(scriptInput.ID, scriptVInput, col.LineageID, DTSUsageType.UT_READONLY);
IDTSOutputColumn90 tmp = script.OutputCollection[0].OutputColumnCollection.New();
tmp.Name = col.Name;
tmp.SetDataTypeProperties(col.DataType, col.Length, col.Precision, col.Scale, col.CodePage);
}
// Make script asynchronous
script.OutputCollection[0].SynchronousInputID = 0;
Thanks for any assistance and Best Regards,

I have a report that I'd like to involve in delivering tons of PDFs for each of our customers for a billing cycle. There is a table that the report reads from that gives it all its data necessary for the report (which is a customer bill) and the table also has a column that has the file name for the PDF for that particular customers bill for the report. Basically each table row represents one output report (bill) and each table row has its name nicely formated for me. Writing the report is not a problem. Figuring out how to run through thousands of rows generating a PDF for each with the file name from the table is my challenge.
I would like to create either a SP or a SSIS package (that is scheduled) that can run a report for each line of data in my table and spit out a PDF file to a UNC path. It might have to generate thousands of PDFs to a UNC path that has plenty of space. There will be another SSIS package that moves the PDFs later to their proper directory.
So, is there someone who has done this before? Any suggestions? Is there a quick path to doing this, would it take a ton of time? Any tutorials out there?
Thanks,
Keith
p.s. My preference is to do this in SP's or SSIS and if I need a .NET language to do that in VB.NET, but I'd rather avoid that if I can.

Have small network of NT workstations, A PDC and BDC. We have one SQL database on the PDC and two others on the BDC. I added a new machine to the network, added users to that machine. When I try to add the new user, (Not Machine) to the database on the BDC, using security, add new user, I get the following message: Microsoft SQL-DMO ( ODBC SQL Statement 42000)
Error 15401: Windows NT user or group "domainnameusername" not found Check the name again.
The user 01 is listed on both the PDC and the BDC. I am totally baffled by this. Any help would be appreciated.

Created a report in SSRS 2005 on a test windows server 2003.
I have admin rights on this server.
I can access it by http://localhost/reports
and then click on the report itself to view the data.
Now I would like my colleague to access this report on this server.
He does NOT have admin rights.
I would like him to view the report from his browser by typing:
http://servername/reports or something simiilar.
How/where do I add him to have access to the report?
Thanks

Hi All,
I have been stuck with this problem since few days, need help regarding the same. I am enclosing the problem description and possible solutions that I have found.
Can anyone please help me out here?
Thanks and regards,
Virat
Problem Description:
I have a requirement for which I have created a data driven subscription in
SQL Server 2005, the whole thing works like this:
I have a report on Report Server which executes a stored procedure to get
its parameters; then it calls another stored procedure to get data for the
report; then it creates the report and copies it to a file share. This is
done using data driven subscription and the time set for repeating this
process is 5 minutes.
You can assume that following are working fine:
1. I have deployed the report on the Report Manager (Uploaded the report,
created a data source, linked the report to data source) - manually, the
report works fine.
2. Created a data driven subscription.
3. The data driven subscription calls a stored procedure, say
GetReportParameters which returns all the parameters required for the report
to execute.
4. The Report Manager executes the report by calling a stored procedure, say
GetReportData with the parameters provided by GetReportParameters stored
procedure; after it has generated the report file (PDF) is copied to a file
share.
For each row that GetReportParameters stored procedure returns a report (PDF
file) will be created and copied to file share.
Now, my question is
1. How to I get a notification that this file was successfully created
or an error occurred?
2. The only message that reporting service shows on 'Report Manager >
My Subscriptions' is something like "Done: 5 processed of 10 total; 2
errors."
How do I find out which record was processed successfully and which ones
resulted in an error?
Based on above results (success or failure), I have to perform further
operations.
Solutions or Work around that I have found:
1. Create a windows service which will monitor the file share folder
and look for the file name (each record has a unique file name) for the
reports that were picked up for PDF creation. If the file is not found, this
service will report an error. Now, there's a glitch there; if a report takes
very long time to execute it will also be reported as error (i.e. when this
service checks for the PDF file, the report was currently being generated).
So, I can't go with this solution.
2. I have also looked at following tables on ReportServer database:
a. Catalog - information regarding all the reports, folders, data
source information, etc.
b. Subscriptions - all the subscriptions information.
c. ExecutionLog - information regarding execution of the subscriptions
and the also manual execution of reports.
d. Notifications - information regarding the errors that occurred
during subscription execution.
For this solution, I was thinking of doing a windows service which will
monitor these tables and do further operations as required.
This looks like most feasible solution so far.
3. Third option is to look at DeliveryExtensions but in that case I
will have to manually call SSRS APIs and will have to manage report
invocation and subscription information. What is your opinion on this?
My environment details:
Windows XP SP2
SQL Server 2005
Reporting Services 2005
Please let me know if I am missing something somewhere...

Hi there NT Server,sqlserver 7.0, Integrated Security. I used "sp_attach_db" to attach a database to the sql server. The database has 3 standard roles with members in each of those roles. But i am not able to add a user to any of the roles through Enterprise Manager(No users are listed, except the other 2 roles). Also when i click "users" under the Database in EM, no users are listed except "dbo" with sa login. Luckily since some members are there in the roles, they are able to connect to the database. Also i am not able to add the user bcos the user exists in the public role and i get an error message "user already exists in DB". The user has logged into the NT and everything is fine. I copied the .mdf and .ldf files from a "Standard Security" Server.

I have a need to add all the users listed in the sysxlogins table to the db_datawriter role. I wrote a proc that does this. It indicates that each user is successfully added to the role, but they aren't. If I look at the user in EM, they don't have that role checked. I've tried all the obvious stuff like close EM and re-open, etc...it doesn't help.
Here is the proc
CREATE proc sp_MyProc
@DBName varchar(256)
As
Declare UID_Cursor Cursor
For
Select Name from master..sysxlogins Where Len(Name) = 7 Order By Name
Open UID_Cursor
Declare @Name as varchar(256)
Declare @TempString as varchar(8000)
Fetch Next from UID_Cursor into @Name
While (@@Fetch_Status <> -1)
Begin
Set @TempString = 'sp_addrolemember ''db_datareader'', ''' + @Name + ''''
Exec(@TempString)
Fetch Next from UID_Cursor Into @Name
End
Close UID_Cursor
Deallocate UID_Cursor

I have to give three users read access to a database.  My manager told me to map them to a User called "zxDatabase.Read.ug". I scripted the User and got this...
CREATE
USER[zxDatabase.Read.ug]
FORLOGIN[zxDatabase.Read.ug]
I don't see a Login at the server level named zxDatabase.Read.ug, so this is confusing. Where is this login in SSMS?
How do I map my three users to user zxDatabase.Read.ug. Or am I not understanding correctly? Do I just add there windows login to the database as Users and configure them the same as zxDatabase.Read.ug

I do not understand the sequence in which to add logins/users. A coupleof things to note. I can not use vbscript - it has to be done using thesqldmo objects (or in a sql script).The sequence I use now is:1- create login, set default db2- add login to sql server3- set db owner4- create user5- add user to master db6- add user to tempdb - blows up hereError 'Microsoft SQL-DMO: [SQL-DMO]This object is already in acollection.'I need the user in 3 dbs. Any help greatly appreciated. Thinking aboutit...I bet by adding it to the master db that it is automatically addedto tempdb so I will try to add it to the 2rd db and see if that works.Thanks!-Will

I am in the process of rolling out a pair of SQL 2014 servers. I have setup an Availability Group, Listener and databases. It's my understanding that I will be giving the listener name to our developers so that they can do their work. In testing, I noticed that If I am using Studio Manager and connected to the the AG using the listener name, when I setup a user in security the user is only added to the active primary node. Is there a way to add a user to both servers in one shot instead of having to install on both servers?Â

Developers need to view and modify jobs on some servers without being sysadmin. We've added the developers to the following MSDB roles:
SQLAgentOperatorRole
SQLAgentReaderRole
SQLAgentUserRole
Technically they should be able to view and modify jobs through Management Studio when being added only to SQLAgentOperatorRole. However they receive the following error when clicking on the Jobs folder regardless of the msdb role.
Execute Permission Denied on Object 'xp_sqlagent_enum_jobs', database 'mssqlsystemresource', schema 'sys'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 229)
Our original two SQL 2005 servers do not produce this message, but all other instances do. All servers, but one, are SP2 so the service pack is not an issue. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Dave

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?

First the total should be displayed then the group members value.
