User access to Report Server (Report
Manager)
As seen in Chapter 3 , Overview of SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 Architecture,
Features, and Tools , Reporting Services uses role-based security to grant access
to Report Server. Only users in the group of Local Administrators group have
permissions to objects on the Report Server. Report Manager assigns roles to
users in a Native mode installation.
Basically there are two types of roles:
• System-level roles : System-level roles grant access to items on the site and
are not bound to anything specific. In order to add a user to an item-level
role, you should also add him to a system-level role. While adding a user
to a role you choose from among the existing roles. Role management
(create, modify, or delete) is carried out on SSMS.
• Item-level roles : Item-level roles can manage reports on the Report Server,
subscriptions, report processing, and report history. You assign item-level
roles in Report Manager Home, or to specific folders containing the item.
For Report Servers installed for SharePoint Integration, access permissions are
configured from a SharePoint Site using SharePoint Permissions . For details review

Considerations for giving user access to the
Report Server

review the following:
• Users must be members of the Local Administrators group on the computer
hosting the Report Server
• Users who have Content Manager and System Administrator permissions
can add users to a Report Server
