Item-Level Roles Page

Use the Item-Level Roles page to view the item-level role definitions that are currently defined for the report server. An item-level role definition is a named collection of tasks that users perform relative to a specific item (that is, a folder, report, resource, or shared data source). Role definitions are assigned to a user or group to create a role assignment. The tasks in the role definition describe what the user or group can do.

Reporting Services includes a number of predefined item-level role definitions that you can work with. You can modify the role definitions by changing the task list of each one, or you can create a new role definition that supports a different combination of tasks.

To open this page, click Site Settings on the global toolbar, and then click Configure item-level role definitions.
