Server Properties (Permissions Page)

Use this page to view or manage the system role assignments that control access to the report server site. In contrast with item-level role assignments, system role assignments exist outside of the scope of the report server namespace or folder hierarchy. System role assignments are global and cannot vary for specific items.

Initially, only local system administrators are granted permissions to manage the report server environment. You can create additional role assignments that give other users permission to administer a report server instance.

Options

  • Group or User
    Specifies which group or user accounts have system-level access. System-level access refers to the capability of viewing and potentially managing features, processes, and components of a report server that are outside of the item-level hierarchy.
  • <Roles>
    Specifies the system roles that each group or user account can assume relative to the system. Each role is a collection of tasks that can be performed.

    Select the checkbox of each system role that you want a specific user or group to perform.

    By default, predefined system role definitions include System Administrator and System User. To create additional system roles or to customize the default roles, open the Security folder, right-click System Roles, and then click New System Role. To view an existing system role definition, open the System Roles folder, right-click a role definition, and then click Properties. 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 the group or user account from the Server Properties page.
