Role Based Security Issues
Jan 16, 2007
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 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.

I want to use an Active Directory security group that is a Distribution List for a new role assignment for an existing report. Can someone tell me if this is possible? I get an error each time I try:
The user or group name <DLName> is not recognized. (rsUnknownUserName)"

Hi all,
Our SQL2000 server now allows all member of the Windows 2000 local administrators group log in with SysAdmin role.
I only want couple of people with sysadmin role. What should I do
to prevent that. I was told once that I should delete the
BUILTINAdministrator ID and manually add each window login ID
to SQL server. Am I on the right track?
Thank you for your help.

We have an application use Approle to read from database. If the client login to windows as administrator or a name that has the administrator rights, the application can get all data. If the client login to windows as a domain user that has limited rights, the application can't get all data.
I run profiler and found that it seems, when application use approle to access a database, the login name is the domain user that log into windows. Is there anybody know what type of right the window login name should have in order to get all data from a database?
Second question, when I log in to window as domainusername( username is not administrator, but has administrator rights). In the profiler, I can see the application use this domainusername access database. However, under sql server login node, I didn't find domainusername. Is this because, the domainusername belongs to buildinadministrator?
Thanks

On our report server I have several folders. I would like to set up security such that a user doesn't see any folders except the "My Reports" folder (I enabled the My Reports site option) and a few other folders I specify. These are a shared folder and the models folder.
Is there a way to create a system level role that by default can't browse any folders except My Reports and ones I specifically grant? I would also like this person to default to having the item level security role of report builder to create reports off of report models.
The only way I have been able to accomplish this so far was to add the user to the the system users site level role and then go to every undesired folder and delete the item level role assignments for the user. It seems odd for the user to have access to every folder then to remove permissions from each folder. Should I create a role with no tasks and then selectively add in the permissions to the desired folders?
I did try creating a new system level role that only had the Execute Report Definitions task assigned and assigned the user exclusively to this role but they could still see all of the folders and their My Reports folder. When I created a new folder the user had been defaulted to item level roles of Browser and Report Builder. I suspect these defaults are what caused the new folder to be visible as soon as I created the folder.
I searched the forum for my question so hopefully I am not causing a re-answer of this question.
Thanks in advance,
Sean

I am setting up some security requirements - the requirement is that team leaders get to view all teams within their division. What I would like it to do when they log onto their dashboard/ssrs report is that it defaults to the team leaders default team (they can still select from other teams if they require).If I can avoid I don't really want another parameter in the report for this.
In my cube I have an attribute under the people dimension (where teams and division also reside) called Fee_Earner_Effective_Flag and where this is set to Y this is their current team.
Under the Role properties security under the Fee_Earner_Effective_Flag attribute I have set the Default member to
[People Primary FeeEarner].[Fee_Earner_Effective_Flag].[Fee Earner Effective Flag].&[Y]
When I then logon as the user and try to access the cube I get the following
Errors in the metadata manager. The '[People Primary Feeearner].[Fee_Earner_Effective_Flag].[Y]' security default member from the '{' attribute returns a result from a different hierarchy.
I have also tried setting the default member in the cube solution and then processing but then the cube failed.

Hi all,
I have setup a new SQL 2000 SP4 and internal auditor query about revoke permission from Public role and remove guest from all databases.
1. Can I revoke all default permissions (select on system tables in all DBs) from "Public" role? I am concern any error after such action.
2. I found that guest account in DB -- master, tempdb and msdb. According to Microsoft documents. The account should not remove and can't from master and tempdb. How about msdb?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a folder structure of reports like this
Home
|
/
A B
Now, suppose I have created this folder, A first and user, say A_User is given permission to view this folder. I am expecting this user to browse from 'Home' to A folder but as you know to browse folder 'Home' he must also be added to 'Home' folder . So I add him to 'Home' now.
The problem comes when I add new folder B, for user B_User. The moment I add this folder A_User is also added to folder B because of the inheritance of users to child folders.
So user A is able to see both A and B folder....and thats my problem, he is supposed to only A folder and not B
Is there any way to disable this inheritance feature ??
I tried deleting A_User from B with a script using "InheritParentSecurity" method of ReportingService but it says that it can not delete inherited users.
How can I fix the problem ? without need to manually delete users from folders ??/
thanks

My company has a Windows 2008 R2 server which is running SQL Server v11.0.5058. This server was previously running SQL Server 2008 and was recently upgraded. Since the upgrade I have noticed that when I connect to this server using SSMS and Windows authentication it seems as though I have a limited user context as I cannot see SQL Agent in the server tree at all and underneath the server security > logins folder I can only see the sa and SQL Server Windows service accounts (there are many more).
If I connect to the server using SSMS and the sa credential then I can see everything I expect to be able to see as a sysadmin.
I tried connecting as sa, then deleting my Windows AD account from the security > logins folder and reading my Windows AD account with the sysadmin role however this yielded the same result, when I connect using Windows authentication I still appear to be in a limited user context.
We have several other SQL 2008 / 2012 servers within our organization and all of them appear to be working fine / none of them exhibit this problem.

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'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!!

An old website I inherited uses sa to connect to SQL SessionState and had the details in the web.config. This is bad for security.The session state database is of -sstype "t" which is defined as:Temporary. Session state data is stored in the SQL Server tempdb database. Stored procedures for managing session state are installed in the SQL Server ASPState database. Data is not persisted if you restart SQL. This is the default.What kind of WIndows user, SQL Login, role and permissions do I need to create to make Session State secure? (Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012 mixed mode authentication, Webfarm).

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

If user want to see the grand total for a measure with include all members, even though the user has limited access for that member, so how we can do using DAX?For example, let’s say the total revenue for all the divisions in a cube is $15,000. You create a role called “Division A”, and set it up so members of that role can only see the revenue for Division A, which totals $3,000. If you use a front-end tool like Excel to access the cube and use the division hierarchy to see the total revenue, you will see the revenue of $3000 for Division A, but also want to see the Grand Total for the revenue as $15,000How we can achieve above scenerio in tabular model (DAX).

I want to set up a database role so that users can use sp_readerrorlog through SSMS. It does a check on membership in the securityadmin role.
I have tested it and can see you can grant execute on xp_readerrorlog but the SSMS GUI uses sp_readerrorlog.
I thought I could create a user/certificate and add the signature to sp_readerrorlog but it's not permitted (likely because it's not a normal database object).
So the other solution is to add the users to the securityadmin role but then explicitly deny alter any login (best done with a custom server role in 2012+ but otherwise just manually in 2008). I tested this out and it works, I'm not able to alter any logins or increase my own permissions, I also did a check of what's reported from fn_my_permissions(null, null) and it shows minimal permissions like I'd expect.

Hi,
We are currently developing a crm that has the following main tables: client, sales, actions, contacts and employees with up to 4 million records. The db contains several other tables with extra information but these aren't relevant for this problem.
Clients have sales, contacts and actions. sales and actions can have seperate contacts as well, and contacts can be related to employees in a way.
Offcourse a security model was implemented but this only provides the option to hide or show all the records of these main tables. Now people noticed that it is a must to let people see for example only companies they created or do sales with. In other words access must be given at a record level.
The first thing that pops in my head is to create a client_security, sales_security, ... table that contains the employee_id and client_id or sales_id, or ... And add a join with one of these security tables for each select that is executed.
I wonder (because of the huge amount of data) if there isn't a better way to get this done?
Another possible issue that came to mind was, that when some data doesn't need protection or some people have the rigth to see everything, we would have to create the records in the security table anyways, resulting in probably hundreds of thousands of records.
Feedback on our solution (if we can call it that allready), or even keywords to find more about this issue via google (record based security really isn't the best description I guess) are most appreciated.
thx in advance.

First of all, I have never done any web-based stuff, so if thefollowing sounds ignorant, it's because I am!So far all our SQL Servers are accessed only over our network and weuse Windows authentication. Now the guy I'm working with on thedesign of our next stuff wants the two new databases (a transactionalone and my data warehouse) to be additionally accessed by web-basedapplications via our company intranet (NOT THE INTERNET). How do weauthenticate under these conditions? The webserver machine will betalking to the SQL Server ones, i.e. the databases will each be on thetheir own separate boxes. Can the webserver be a "user"? If so,and we want the actual users to have different privileges, then theweb-based apps have to manage that? Or is there a way for theweb-based apps to grab the Windows user and pass it to SQL Server?

Hi,
I wonder if SQL Server 2005 supports row based security?
I need to set some users to see data filtered by a specific field and value...
Example: User XPTO only sees data about vendor code = '123'
Is this possible in the box?

I am currently developing a project that requires a server level permission for one stored procedure (ALTER ANY LOGIN)
To this effect, I plan to create a certificate, sign the stored procedure with it, import the certificate into the master DB and assign privileges.
I also understand that modification to the code invalidates the signature (after all thats the point of signing something).
But what about user defined functions and stored procedures referenced by the signed procedure? Does SQL server follow the dependancy chain and include referenced procedures in the signature? Or does the privilege assigned to the certificate not apply when the nested procedure is executed?
If this is not the case couldn't a restricted database user just alter a nested stored procedure they have been granted ALTER access to and make themselves SA or something?
So to sum up, do you have to duplicate the functionality of otherwise nested procedures into a certificate signed procedure to protect server security?

HiI need to set security for row level but not based on Database user'slogin. It should be based on the user table login. For the particularuser I need to allow only the particular records to access insert,update delete and select.Let me explain clearlyFor example think we are using asp/asp.net websiteEg:www.test.comSo take this is our website and if you try this URL then you will get awindow for Login name and password.For example the Login name is windows user name (Here windows usermeans server windows user and not client) and windows password. So ifyou have login user id you can able to login in our site and we haveanother check. We have our own usertable this table consist all theuser login names and user rights. We will check the windows user whologin in our site has rights in the usertable I mean he is present inthe usertable if he is not present then we will display a message youhave no rights to access this site.If he has login id in our usertable then he allowed viewing ourpages. Still if he has the login id we will check the user who loginhas how much right to access to each page and the records of each tableits all depend on the user rights.So, here I need the row level security. For each and every table weneed to check the corresponding user and executing the record producelot of business logic problem for us.So after the user login we need automatically to set row levelsecurity for all the tables. Based on the user who login.So from there if we try select * from <tablename> then we can only ableto get the allowed records to select, insert, update, delete.Please can some one help how to solve this?Note:For some help you can refer the below URL (See in that they only givenabout the row level and column level security for each database usersnot for our required concept)http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...5/multisec.mspxThanks in advanceRams

In sql server 2000, I created some custom database roles called ProjectLeader and Developer. I would make these roles a member in the fixed database roles so that I would only have to add the user to the ProjectLeader or Developer role once and they would presto-magico have the security I wanted them to have with no unecessary mouse clicking. I'm not sure how to repeat this process in 2005? Management Studio doesn't seem to allow you to add a role as a member in another role. Is there a work around or solution for this?
