Resource Properties (Permissions Page)

Use this page to set security on a resource. A resource is any non-report item that you upload from the file system to a report server database. Examples of resources that you may want to upload include image files, documents, or previously exported reports you have saved in file formats.

Options

  • Inherit roles from the parent folder
    Click Inherit roles from the parent folder to reset security so that it is inherited from the folder that contains the resource. 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 this item. Access to the resource 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 resource. 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, and Publisher). 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.
