Data Source Properties (Permissions Page)
Use this page to set security on a shared data source item. Securing a shared data source item does not create security settings on an external data source. When you specify security settings on a shared data source, you determine who can view a shared data source item in the folder namespace and who can view and set properties on the shared data source item.
Options
- Inherit roles from the parent folder
Click Inherit roles from the parent folder to use the security that is inherited from the folder that contains the shared data source item. This is the default option. By default, all security settings are inherited from a parent folder.
- Use these roles for each group or user account
Click Use these roles for each group or user account to modify security settings for an existing role assignment. Access to the shared data source item will be defined solely by the role assignments that you subsequently define. Role assignments are created by mapping a user or group account to one or more roles.
- Group or User
Specifies which group or user accounts have access to the shared data source item. Item access refers to the capability of viewing and potentially managing this item in SQL Server Management Studio or any other application that accesses the report server database. You can only specify one group or user account for each role assignment.
- Roles
Specifies the item-level roles that each group or user account can assume relative to this item. Each role is a collection of tasks that can be performed. By default, predefined role definitions are provided (including Browser, Content Manager, My Reports, Publisher, and Report Builder). Note that you cannot specify a system-level role definition for an item-level role assignment. For more information about creating or modifying Reporting Services roles, see Configuring Security Through Role Assignments.
- Add Group or User
Click Add Group or User to grant access to a specific group or user account.
- Remove
Click Remove to delete a role assignment. The user or group named in the role assignment will no longer be able to access the shared data source.
