Question :
I received this request from a developer:
When I try to download *.rdl report files from myssrs_server/Reports
I’m getting this error:
Would you be able to extend my permissions so I can download reports
from all branches?
What is the minimal permission I should grant in order for him to get this done?
Any alternatives? (I was thinking about granting read only access to the reportServer database or something on those lines – but I don’t want to make their lives too difficult )
I found this article very good regarding ssrs permissions:
SQL Server Reporting Services 2012 Permissions
Webpage were all the ssrs Predefined Roles are explained.
Answer :
At the end, just so that I don’t need to download the reports for them to edit, I have granted a very selective AD group with the contents manager permission, so that they can do their work.
any better alternative please post an answer or comment, I will review the situation accordingly.
