Report Builder Permissions

Hi there,

I created a System Role: Report Builder User (checked "Execute Report Definitions")

Created a folder Home/FolderName/ReportModels

Created a Report Model, deployed it to the above folder.

The are a few users we would like them to run the report model, they belong to a windows group.

I assigned The "Report Builder User" to this Group.

The issue I have that when they run the Report Builder they get a login window (which then doesn't let them to continue).

I managed to overcome this by assiging to this group a "Browser" role at the Home level.

If I remove this assignment and set it in one level underneath the Home folder they can't run the Report Builder.

We don't want them to be able to view the folders at this level, Is there any other option besides setting the Browser role at the Home folder?

Thank you,

Itzhak

I believe users need to have at least Browser permission on all the parent folders of a given folder in addition to the folder itself. So yes, they will need to have permission to the Home folder. However, this will not (by itself) allow them to see subfolders of the Home folder to which they do not have permission. So you should still be able to hide the folders you don't want them to see.

Hope this helps!

That's what I thought.

Yes, it did help.

Thank you,
