How to setup the folder security roles in SSRS

Anthony edited this page Jun 9, 2017 · 3 revisions

In SSRS new roles and adjustments to existing roles must be performed in SQL Server Management studio, SSMS. After opening up SSMS, click on "Connect" and select "Reporting Services…"

Enter your Server Name and login information and then click Connect.

After connecting to the Report Server, open the Security Folder right click on "Roles" and click on "New Role…"

I created 2 new roles ("Browser Group", "Functional Owner") with the same permission as "Browser".

Then on the report manager click on the down arrow for a folder and select "Security"

Then click "New Role Assignment"

Then enter the Active Directory group or an email address and check the new role you created.
