SSRS How To Customize The Report Models Created For Specific Users
Jan 3, 2008
hi,
I am new to SSRS. I am doing some report models for Ad-hoc reports. Im my database i have some users and their roles according to my requirement. User should only see the particular reports if he have privilege. how to customize...
User will access Report Builder to do adhoc report.
For example
I have 5 report Models
rptModel1
rptModel2
rptModel3
rptModel4
rptModel5
In my data base there are 3 users.
user1 have privilege to view rptModel1, rptModel3
user2 have privilege to view rptModel4, rptModel5
user3 have privilege to view rptModel2, rptModel5
When Particular user access the report builder, There i want to show only that particular Report models...
is there any posibilities to do this please Help me.
I am having mucho difficulties deploying Report Models from my box.
I create a brand new report model project, I add a data source, a datasource view, and a report model. Everything builds fine. I setup the project to point to a valid SSRS Server (and I tried this on another person's box, everything worked fine), click deploy- enter the credentials, and the logon box just keeps popping back up instead of deploying.
When the credential box pops up, it has a "" in it. When I try this on another person's box, it works fine.
I just upgraded to SQL Server 2005 SP2, but I do not have Visual Studio 2005 SP1.
I have 3 SSRS 2014 (Dev, UAT and Prod). I would like to change background colors of each environment and customize the title 'SQL Server Reporting Services' to ' SSRS Development'.
I prefer to implement both, a background color change and a title change. The reason for this is to clarify to end users which environment they are working with.
Where can I make those minimal changes in SSRS 2014.
I created a SSRS Reports in SQL Server 2012 and deployed in server, I want this report to be accessed by one particular User created in that hosted server and any time if user hits the Report URL it asked for login Prompt.Suppose if I create a Windows User "ReportUser" in report server , I want when user hits the URL he should be able to access the report by providing the 'ReportUser" credentials.
Hi all, I want to raise one question which might not relevant to current discussion. Prob:-- I have some SSRS reports. I want to know for a given time period 1. How many people hit the report. 2. Who are the users hit the report in that time interval.
Is there any query to get that data? Or, should I go somewhere to see the data?
NB:- There is not any table in the application which is storing the data
hi alli've got two tables called "webusers" (id, name, fk_country) and "countries" (id, name) at the meantime, i've a search-page where i can fill a form to search users. in the dropdown to select the country i included an option which is called "all countries". now the problem is: how can i make a stored procedure that makes a restriction to the fk_country depending on the submitted fk_country parameter?it should be something like SELECT * FROM webusers(if @fk_country > 0, which is the value for "all countries"){ WHERE fk_country = @fk_country} who has an idea how to solve this problem?
I am very early on in developing a website to track issues with projects which is tied to a SQL database. I have my Projects Table, my Users Table, and am creating a third table to track issues. I'm wondering what is the best way to assign specific users to specific data/projects. The user should only be able to view & update the projects assigned to him. He should not be able to see other projects. What is the best way to assign projects/data to the users to make sure they are only viewing their data?
Got a good question to ask. At the moment, I do not have any control over the reporting server webserver. This is due to the company's policy. The webhosting is controled by antoher department.
Anyways, the question is the following:- Is there a way to customize the config file for the htmlviewer (css style sheet, rendering and others) for a specific client without affecting the rest ?
There are about 20 clients on a server, and I am responsible for one of them. I had customized my config file to render or allow only two formats for this particular client. Since I don't have any control over the websever, I just can't replace the config file without affecting the others. How do i do this ? I just want th config file to ONLY affect a certain client's HTMLViewer and not the others. I tried to do some research on this, but came up empty handed.
Hi, Is it possible to customize the report manager web site so that I can set the report output format to excel by default. Currently, to get the excel report user has to first select the report criteria and then click the "view report" button which renders the report in HTML format and then only the export to excel option appears.
Is there a way we can get the report exported to excel in one go.
I would like to use Report Managers interface for choosing reports. But all of the reports uses different dsu(datasourceuser) and dsp(datasourcepassword) depending on which user that is logon. I would like to call the interface from a webapplication(where they have the current dsu & dsp).
Is there a way to customize Report Manager to save the dsu & dsp so users don't have to login for each report? Or could I make a clever transformation from the Windows userid?
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?
I'm trying to deal with a way to change the report parameter's default layout.
currently it seems to default to two columns, that's fine until you have a large screen and the "View Report" button is all the way to the right and you have a big chunk of whitespace.
For Example: Parameter 1 Parameter 2 <View Report> Parameter 3
I'd like it to show up instead as: Parameter 1 Parameter 2 Parameter 3 <View Report>
Is anyone using Report Builder via a Report Model generated from Analysis Services in production?
From what I have seen on the Forum people have done this from books, but it is not clear as to whether they have used it at work, in production. There do appear to be reports of some problems with the integration between the two, and with performance.
The attraction of Report Builder on top of Analysis Services is that we should only need to define measures, security, etc, once in the Cube, not twice, as we would if we had to use Report Builder on top of a relational source, alongside Cubes on Analysis Services.
What I would like to find out is:
1) If there is someone who has deployed Report Builder on top of both a relational data source and Analysis Services. If so, which has been taken up best by the users?
2) How does the navigation in Report Builder work with Cubes. It seems a little bizarre in that you can only drill down, never up. Is there any way around this. Do you need to design the Cube specifically to support the Report Model? If so how?
3) The generation of the report model is easy. However, is there any way to control this, or to edit it later?
4) We have had problems with Report Models on relational sources where changes have invalidated the Report Model and all reports built on it. Can similar problems arise, for example, if you change the Cube and then Re-Generate the Report Model?
5) Are there any other issues around Report Builder. The two I have found so far seem to be Hidden Dimensions showing up, and Report Builder not working if measures are defined as non-aggregatable.
6) Are there any other end-user adhoc reporting products which work better with Analysis Services?
My main task is to create a login under a specific database.
For which I'm validating whether that login already exists or not I'm checking it in the syslogins table. I need to specifically check it is in my databse or not....for that what should I do...
I have a Sharepoint integrated Reporting Services server. I have created Report models based on Data Sources. I then created Report Builder Reports to make some BI Charts and Graphs. They look great and work fine for a few days then all of a sudden I get a rsItemNotFound error saying it cannot find the Report Model which is clearly there.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
The item 'IT Reports/PWPDB_Prod_Model.smdl' cannot be found. (rsItemNotFound)
If I open the Report Model from Report Builder it loads the data fields, but also fails to run reports with the same error
If I try to regenerate the model from the library I get an error stating that the model needs to be a generated model.
The model specified must be a generated model.
(rsModelNotGenerated)
Even after rebooting all of the servers in the farm I get the same messages. I can regenerate a model from the data source and it doesn't work. I am seeing no errors in the logs of my app server at all regarding reporting services.
It looks as though I will have to de-integrate Reporting Services as it is not viable for a business critical application.
Need a little help here. I would like to utilize the ad-hoc capabilities of Reporting Services to grant the users of one of my web apps the ability to create all sorts of crazy reports that I don't have to develop.
Basically, this web app is a flexible survey engine. My vision is to have the users select questions from a survey that they wish to generate statistics on. My application would create a view in the database that transposes the data into a tabular format. They would then get kicked over to the reporting services web client, where they can regenerate a report model, and then fire up report builder to create their crazy statiscal abomination. (Aren't users grand!)
This process sounds wonderful, but I'm not aware of any way to get the report model to regenerate and pickup any views. I can get it to pick up any new tables that are added as long as a primary key is created for them, but I want the automated dynamic data rendering that comes with a view. Hopefully, some of you out there have tried to do this already and have some ideas that may help me. Thanks!
the database my app is using contains information from multiple user organisations, a sort of multi organisation database. I intend using the reprot builder to provide access to a user ine ach organisation. However the issue of who sees what info has popped up and i'm trying to think of a way to restict the user of report builder to only be able to see their own organisations information. This is a social services type application which is used by mutlitple service providers so organisations get twitchy about other organisations being able to see detailed client info. on the application the security stops this but at am a t a loss as to how to best restirct access to an organisation won client data.
any thoughts? is this somehting that can be configured through the reprt model and the report builder user account?
I am having a problem deploying or manually uploading smdl files to reporting services. I can upload anyother type of file without a problem. (dsv, ds, etc.) However, when i try to upload a smdl file, I get
"The permissions granted to user '<me>' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)"
I am have a few reports built in Report Builder and obviously using Report Models. All these report models are using a share data source. When I try enable to enable chache or creating subscription I get and error that "Credentials used not stored".
I thought well let me store the credentials for the data source used by the model used by the report on the server. I still get the same error.
I tried to create a custom data source for the report but there is not option for connection string to connect to Report Server Model. We have "Microsoft SQL SEVER", "OLE DB", "Microsoft SQL Analysis Services", "ORACLE", "ODBC", "XML", "SQP Netweaver BI" and "Hyperion Essabe"
if I understand this right to create cache or subscription I must store the credentials for each report making shared Data source concept redundant. Also I cannot create a connection string to connect to Report Server Model.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone can tell me how to enable cache or subscriptions for report that are built on report models using shared data source.
How does the report model know what data source view to use? I could not find it defined anywhere in the .smdl file.
My problem is this. I have a Report Model project with two data sources, two data source views and multiple report models. When I try and bind a data source to an entity in the report model I do not get to choose which data source view to use to choose what table/view I want to bind the entity too and only the tables in one of my DSV's shows up. When I first created it, it worked fine. It automatically selected the correct view and table and was successfully created but now when I open the project, that correlation is lost.
When I open Report Builder I do not see any of the models that I've created. The "Select Site or Server" is blank and I cannot get to any of the models. I can't change the dropdown from "Recent Sites and Servers."
I am not sure what I did, because it used to work. I did install SP2 but that did not cause a problem originally.
I can create new models (on both the BIDS and the ReportServer site) and I see that they were created just not in Report Builder. At this point Report Builder is non-functional for me.
The other thing that may be related is that I've never been able to run Report Builder from the website. When I click the button nothing happens. I made a shortcut to ReportBuilder.exe to get around this.
[dbo].[PortalUser]( [PortalUserID] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
...
[dbo].[Role]( [RoleID] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [Name] [nvarchar](250) NOT NULL, [IsActive] [bit] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_Roles_IsActive] DEFAULT ((1)) ...
[dbo].[PortalUserRole]( [PortalUserRoleID] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [PortalUserID] [bigint] NOT NULL, [RoleID] [bigint] NOT NULL, [IsActive] [bit] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_PortalUserRole_IsActive] DEFAULT ((1))
I'm asking to get a list of portalUsers that do not have a PortalUserRole records for the rolename I'm checking against. And don't ask me why the person who coded this is searching on rolename not ID. But this is how we're doing it for now.
I have an archival process on a large database that runs once a month.At the beginning of the process the triggers and indexes on thetables whose data is moved are dropped, the data is moved and then thetriggers and indexes are recreated at the end. This produces amassive improvement in performance.The problem is the process is supposed to run on users accounts (thatsthe way the front-end is set up) and they don't have the neccessarypermissions to drop & create triggers & indexes. I can't see any wayto give them permissions only on specific tables or triggers/indexes.Nor does giving them permissions to the stored procedures that do thedropping & re-creating work, DDL permissions don't seem to beinherited the way they are with tables.Is blanket rights to drop & create objects through the db_ddladminrole the only way users can get rights?Thanks,K Finegan
After I use the report builder to create a generic report, how do I actually get that report into the report designer so that I can modify it more effectivly?
The issue that I have now is that the file on the report server is not a .rdl file and if I simply save it as one and then bring it into VS to modify it the code file is a html structure rater than a XML file type.
Hello, I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on how to do this....I have a table that is a many to many relationship between userID's and courseID's. for instance (example data for each row - dont let the spaces between rows throw you off I am just adding them to seperate the different users)userID = 1, courseID = 1userID = 1, courseID = 2userID = 1, courseID = 3userID = 2, courseID = 1userID = 2, courseID = 3userID = 3, courseID = 1userID = 3, courseID = 2userID = 3, courseID = 3I want to be able to check for a number so in this case "2" which I would like to return all users who do not have a courseID = 2. In the example above the query would return the user with the userID of 2.Any help in how I should go about doing this would be greatly appreciated. Is there a function I can use? I apologize I am extremely new to SQL
I never got an answer on this so I am reposting this issue. Also, please note that I have consistently reproduced this issue on multiple perspectives within and accross multiple cubes on 3 different SQL Server Instances. I have also had no problem with perspectives within Report Models that were not generated from an SSAS Cube.
Specifics:
=========
I have created a simple cube in BI Studio against an Oracle Relational Data Warehouse. In this cube I have created a perspective in which I have selected (included) only a small subset of measures and dimension. When I view this perspective on the Browse Tab of BI Studio, only the entities that were included in the perspective were available for report construction as was expected.
Next, I generated a model for this cube in Report Manager. Now here is the problem, I then opended the model in Report Builder and selected the same perspective from above, but all of the Entities in the cube were displayed including the fields I explicitely did not include in the perspective. I then looked at the .smdl file describing the Model and it looked like in the Perspective description section all of the cube's entities were included, even the ones that should not have been included. It seems as if the problem is ocurring durring the model generation. I also tried generating the model in Management Studio and it seems to be doing the same thing.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Could I be doing something wrong(probably)? I have to give a presentation soon and this is a big deal for the Project Stakeholders.
By the way, I am using the 180 Day Evaluation of Sql Server 2005 with SP2 CTP installed.
hi..i need help on how to create user logs with a specific transaction he made. for example, he added new item in the database, the grid wud contain user id, date, time and transaction. help po.. tnx!
Currently I am using SQL server 2012 and would like to implement database audit specification on specific users in my database. These are the users in my database name Payroll :-
In my database audit specification settings, I would like to capture any SELECT,UPDATE,DELETE and EXECUTE command for users PayrollAndy.Bred & PayrollArpit.Shah only since they owned db_owner access. However, I am unable to capture any single command from both users. I do not want to put 'Principal' as public since I just want to capture both users activity.
Is it I miss out anything? Is it because of windows login account?
Now, I know that I can access each folder (f.e. Sales) by directly putting it into the URL. Is there a possibility to enable every user to the root folder and then denying access on specific folders? F.e.: Our Head of Sales should be able to navigate to the root folder and then dcecide whether he wants to enter the Sales or the Sales Export folder.
Is this possible? I tried a few things, but nothing works.
The current way I have my asp.net 2.0 web app running reports is, based on an interface the user selects the criteria for a report. The .RDL file is created dynamically based on the user's selections. I then need to SOAP the dynamically created report to the report server and then the report runs fine. BUT it requires Adminstrative rights to do this. Can this be accomplished without giving the local machine admin rights. I am sorry if this question has been answered before but i have not been up here in a while.
