How to Add Permissions for Standard Reports
Updated: May 13, 2016
Applies To: System Center 2012 SP1 - Service Manager, System Center 2012 R2 Service Manager, System Center 2012 - Service Manager
By default, all System Center 2012 – Service Manager users have access to reports through the Reporting workspace. However, before users who do not have administrator permissions can view the Reporting workspace, you must add permissions through SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
You can grant access at the root level, which enables a user to view the Reporting workspace and all the reports in Service Manager. You can also grant restricted access to specific report folders, such as the Incident report folder, or to individual reports.
The following procedure describes how to grant SSRS access for all the Service Manager reports to an Active Directory group (woodgrove\SCSMReportAccess).
To add SSRS permissions
On the computer on which SRSS is installed, start Report Manager. For example, open http://<ReportServerName>:80/Reports.
Locate the folder or report for which you want to grant access permission. For example, locate the SystemCenter and ServiceManager root folders.
Click Security.
Click Edit Item Security.
The following message appears: "Item security is inherited from a parent item. Do you want to apply security settings for this item that are different from those of the Home parent item?"
Click OK.
Click New Role Assignment.
Type the name of the Active Directory group or user in the Group or user name box. For example, type woodgrove\SCSMReportAccess.
Set the roles for the group or user. Select the Browser check box to grant access to run reports.
Click OK.
