Reporting Services 2005 - Security Extention

Hi,

I have compiled the security extension sample code that comes with the installation and I was able to successfully deploy it on the Reporting Server. Now my server asks me for username, password when browse to the http://servername/reports folder. I have configured one user as say "AdminUser".

When I login as AdminUser, I am to see all my reports and browse thru them.

I created one more user say "RegUser". I have logged in as AdminUser and I have give permissions to RegUser for some folders on report server.

Until this point every thing just worked fine and absolutly no problems.

The real problem shows up when the "RegUser" logs in to the system. He is able to login, but he cannot see any thing on the Home Page. Even though I have give permission to this RegUser, he is not able to see his folders.

If any body has solved this problem before or had any idea whats going on... please throw me an idea.

Thanks in advance.

What permission did you give him ? make sure that he is on the group of systeusers in Reporting Services, otherwise he won′t be able to see anything on the report server.

I have given him the role "Browser" to a particular folder, but that is not helping me out.

Are you talking about giving setup in of the config files?

|||It sounds like issues with Authorization. make sure you have the function checkOperations properly overloaded and that your GetPermissions function is gathering the roles properly. It could also be that the roles defined in the Report Manager are not syncing up with the roles defined in your application/database.
