1 min read

The user what we are using for the ReportServerCredential that should have permission to get the report, datasource , resources from server. So, we make sure we are having the content manager permission available for the folder from where are going to get the reports and the user has the permission to access the Report Server.

 

Site Setting of Report Server:

Within the SSRS website, the first item to setup is to create system level permissions; these permissions are assigned to the main administrators of SSRS and the "power" users who publish reports. Two main roles, System Administrator and System User are predefined. Assignment to these roles is made by clicking on Site Setting in the upper right corner of the report server site;  next click on the Security link from the left menu.
