Reporting Services permissions problem

  • If anyone has any suggestions how to deal with this, they'd be greatly appreciated ... We just discovered that a former employee deployed some reports to production without giving the rest of the report development group any permissions. There are plenty of users with browse permissions outside the group; we became aware of the existence of these reports when we received change requests on reports we couldn't even see.

    I was able to pull data from the ReportServices database on the SQL Server to verify that there are no current employees with Content Manager permissions--everyone with access to the report has Browse only. Is there anything that can be done to take control of these reports? I find I'm stumped ...

  • Anybody? Help!!

  • What if you login with his credentials?

  • It seems you need to add another User to Content Manager role.

    Unfortunately, the SSRS 2005 version of that page doesn't have any method for creating a global content manager. It only shows how to edit the permissions on an existing item; and to do that, you need to already have content manager permissions on that item.
