Changing the Report Manager Account

  • Article

To generate static reports, the Report Manager, a report-rendering component, runs on the SQL Server computer and accesses the required Data Warehouse tables for the static reports. Business Desk users do not directly access the Report Manager.

The Report Manager runs under the local account. This security context allows the Business Desk application to run reports, without specifying additional permissions for IIS, which could compromise security.
