Security for SQL Server Reporting Services reports

After the upgrade, use Report Manager to grant access to additional reports deployed during the upgrade. You should also use the SQL Server Management Studio to assign user groups to the SQL Server database roles that correspond to the additional data connections and reports deployed during the upgrade. The user permissions assigned to the previous versions connections and reports are maintained during the upgrade process.

If you have deployed reports using the SharePoint integrated mode and have already assigned permissions to users, those same users will have access to report server items and operations immediately after you configure the integration settings between Microsoft SharePoint and a report server. You can use existing permissions to upload report definitions and other documents, view reports, create subscriptions, and manage items.

If you have not assigned permissions, assign user and group accounts to predefined SharePoint groups. You also can create new permission levels and groups or modify existing ones to vary server access permissions as specific needs arise.

You can deploy SQL Server Reporting Services reports for multiple Dynamics GP instances to a single Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Server. If you have deployed reports to a folder on a Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Server using the Native mode, you must to provide access to the folder.
