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.
I wanted to give my sql server user to give select,insert,update on all the tables and execute permission on all the stored procedures.He should get the permissions on the object which will be created in the future.How can i do this.
Could someone please advise if the report folder structure I am proposing will be secure enough so unauthorised users can't access the reports?
I have created three folders; Departments (that contains subfolders being one for each department), Sections (that contains subfolders being one for each section), and Open Access. A manager will either see the Department or Section folder and then the relevant subfolder for the area he/she manages.
I have deployed the reports from the Development Studio to the Home page, made them invisible there, but created linked reports that then show in the subfolders. Each subfolder contains a separate linked report and each has parameters set within the Properties tab of SSRS that only enables the manager who will access that subfolder to see the report details specific to their area.
A manager will then be given the browser role for only the subfolder he/she has access to.
I would like to be sure that a manager will not be able to see information in other subfolders. Will my proposed structure be secure enough?
Hi, The Report Manager portal has many folders. For each folder there are specific users with different roles. I am trying to figure out the way to extract User, folder wise security data. I want to run a query and retrieve users name, the folders they have access to and the user role corresponding to that folder.
Use ReportServer
SELECT u.UserName, r.RoleName FROM users u, policyuserrole pur, roles r
WHERE pur.UserID=u.UserID AND pur.RoleID=r.RoleID The above query fetches all the users and their roles. The folder information corresponds to Path column of Catalog table. Am unable link this table with the above query. TIA
I have windows 2003 reporting services 2005 that has been working fine. Now all of a sudden when I go to http://localhost/reports I am unable to assign security to folders(the link is hidden) the New data source button is hidden, the new folder button is hidden, upload folder and report builder are also hidden. I am logged in as aministrator.
Also when I connect to reporting services through SQL Mgmt Studio I have the same issue, there are no options for permissions only a general option.
I'm sure it's a permissions issue but what do i do to resolve?
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 ??/
I am setting up a database for one contractor who needs to access one of our databases but i need to remove the permission for them to view the security folder so he cant access the SA account and enable it. I was able to deny them the view permission to see all the other databases and hide the system objects but i can still see the security folder and the sa account there where i can disable and enable it.
1. I have sql 2008 R2 running on my LocalHost. 2. Created Data Base [Customer]. 3. Created Linked Server [CUSTOMERLINK] USING Microsoft Jet 4.0 to link to Drive F:Data which has DBF files in it. 4. Create dbo.Customer_Upload Table. 5. INSERT INTO [Customer].[dbo].[Customer_UpLoad] ([Name],[Email]) SELECT NAME,EMAIL FROM [CUSTOMERLINK]...[CUS]
All this works fine. I can even put it in to an After Insert Trigger on another table and it works.
My problem is that I need this to work in a scheduled job.
F:Data is just a folder with files in it.
This info is from a Restaurant POS system and I need to update it every night.
I have tried every which way to to setup the security issue as there isn't any login security on the folder and SqlServerAgent wants security.
I dont alot about sql server 2005(Express edition). For debugging purposes i want to copy the whole app_data folder(.mdf & .log files) on the production server to another folder on the same machine(or sometimes to a network folder). So when i copy and try to paste this App_data folder to a new location, i get this error message "cannot copy ASPNETDB: it is being used by another person or program. close any programs that might be using the file and try again." After reading the above message, i close visual web developer, stop the website in IIS and stop the SQLExpress service on the server and try again but still get the same message. So how can i make sure that all the programs accessing these database files are closed such that i'm able able to copy them to a different location.
I know a WMI event watcher can be used to watch for a new file being added to a folder. However, I need to check for new folders being added to an existing folder. I haven't been able to find a post on doing this. Is there a way in WQL to check for a new folder being added instead of a new file? I've used SQL for years, but am new to SSIS.
I have a SharePoint (2007) Document Library site called B. Web Client is enabled on the server and B is mapped as a Drive (let's call it Y for this discussion)
I want to move documents in A to B. Easy enough, right? Not so....
I first started by creating a batch file that issues a COPY \A \Y /Y at the command prompt. Viola! Worked Great!
I then moved that command to a SQL Agent job as a CMDExec statement (exact same statement) and attempted to run it.....CRASH! It found the files in A but then said "The system cannot find the path specified"
Ok, so I tried it in SSIS. CRASH! Checked the error log. Same thing...
So I then checked the account under which the SQl Agent was running (special domain account for all our SQL Servers). Thinking it might mater I changed it to run under my name (I'm in Domain admin). I also ensured I had permissions to the SPS 2007 library as well. (I did).
Ran again! CRASH! Same error....
So, I created a batch file , placed thec ommand in the batch file and ran that from the command prompt! Viola! Worked Great.
So, I was thinking of how ingenious I was as I pasted my C:RootCopy.bat into my SQL Agent job. With a big grin on my face I right clicked and picked "Start Job at step".......CRASH! Same error.
Does anyone have any ideas on this ???????????????
I have a set of folders with the following structure:
MainFolder
1999
SpreadsheetA.xls
SpreadsheetB.xls
SpreadsheetC.xls
2000
SpreadsheetA.xls
SpreadsheetB.xls
SpreadsheetC.xls
etc.
Is there a way that I can use the foreach loop container to loop the sub folders? My plan was to get the folder name and path into a variable, use this to build the connection string for each file in this folder, carry out the upload for that folder, then move onto the next folder and do the same thing, but I cannot see a way to do this.
I am having problem with moving a file from one folder to another folder. Here is the detailed scenario:
I want to move a input.csv file from shared input folder to shared archive folder. i am using the below code to do this. declare @inpath varchar(100) SET @inpath = 'move "\abcdefINPUTinput*.csv" "\abcdefARCHIVEarchive.csv"' EXEC @filestatus = master..xp_cmdshell @inpath but the problem was it was cutting the input.csv file from INPUT folder but not pasting it in the ARCHIVE folder. I really appreciate if anyone can help me to solve this or anyone can tell some workarounds.
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.
Is there any possibility to schedule SQL job execution as Windows Security Group? I need to run powershell script through SQL job with one of this group member's permissions.
I have Sql Server Express installed on Vista (service pack 2)
I have Visual Studio 2005 with an application that I'm trying to access it with within a WCF service.
The login ID of the service is added to the database.
The database has remote access turned on.
The ID is granted access to all databases within the server.
The thread is being set with WindowsProvider and the services set their thread to WindowsProvider.
The dataserver is set with using Windows Authentication for security.
When I open my connection to the database, though, it reports the typically useless message that the connection is not allowed and that the server may not allow remote connections.
How to I get past this? I've done everything right.
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)"
I am looking for a way to log all security related events for SQL in Windows Security Log. I am trying to use SCOM for monitoring SQL and I am looking at ways to generate alerts in my SCOM Console for specific events in SQL e.g. A table is deleted, user is modified, deleted, etc. Is this possible and if yes how do I achieve the same?
In an environment where there are many initaitors speaking to a central target with frowarders in between, from what i can understand this best policy is to disable encryption on the endpoints, since dialog encryption will be enforced this is all that is really required, is this correct.
If the endpoints used encryption the message would need to be encrypted and decrypted at each forwarder resulting in slower perfromance, where as dialog encryption would only encrypt at the sender and decrypt at the target, so is this the best way to go?
Secondly is it best practice to open a dialog initally and send messages over this dialog for years never ending the conversation? This way the services only have to authenticate eachother once, if there are no reboots etc that is of course.
I would think performance wise sending each message and ending the conversation each time is a much greater overhead ? So would it be best practice to keep dialogs open and keep sending messages ?
Initally when i was learning service broker i thought that one must send a message and end the dialog until the next message, but i think the other way is the best option ?
I'm designing a distributed application where I will have SQL Server 2005 distributed databases replicating data to my central hub which is again a SQL Server 2005 database using SQL Service Broker. Data will be sent from the central hub to the distributed sites and vice versa. I need to authenticate the communication and also secure the communication by encrypting the messages. Which security shall I use? Where do I configure the type of security being used? What is the difference between transport security Vs dialogue security - Full security model?
Can anybody tell me the advantage and disadvantage to use NT security for SQL Server 7.0? For a corporation with 400 users, what is your recommendation for the SQL Server security management. Thanks.
What's the better security to use? Currently I'm always registering using the Windows authentication. When I'm trying to register using SQL authentication I always get "Login failed for user 'sa'" error....

What would be the impact of replacing the SQL 2005 90 ToolsBinn folder with the SQL 2000 80 toolsinn folder? A colleague of mine did this in a SQL 2005 production environment so that he could still use isql.exe. Unfortunately, users are getting kicked out of the database and I'm thinking the binn folder may be a factor. Thoughts?
