Use the New System Role Assignments or Edit System Role Assignments page to define security for the report server. All security is defined through role assignments that map specific users or groups to the tasks that they can perform. The task list is represented as a role definition that you select when making the role assignment.
At the system level, the role assignments that you create or modify apply to the report server as a whole. For example, the ability to create shared schedules is specified at the system level because shared schedules are used throughout the system.
To open this page, on the Site Settings page, click Configure site-wide security. You must be a report server administrator to access this page.
Delete
Click Delete to delete a role assignment. Before clicking Delete, select the check box next to the role assignment for the group or user name that you want to delete. You cannot delete built-in role assignments (for example, Built-in\Administrators), which define the security infrastructure for the report server.
New Role Assignment
Click New Role Assignment to define a custom site-wide role assignment that applies globally to the report server. A custom role assignment specifies a set of one or more role definitions (either custom or predefined) for groups or users that you select. Typically, site-wide role assignments are reserved for administrators and applications.
Group or User
Type the name of a group or user account in your domain. If the report server is running under a local account, you must specify local groups or users. If the report server is running under a domain account, you must specify domain groups or users.
Roles
Click Role to view or edit the tasks that are associated with each role definition. A role definition can be included in multiple role assignments. Changes that you make to a role definition affect all role assignments that include the role definition. Consider creating custom role definitions to avoid broad changes that affect multiple role assignments in ways you cannot foresee.
