Limiting access to Report Designer Only
|
|
| clutch 2005-11-29, 8:24 pm |
| Hi,
Has anyone tried to limit access to Report Designer only? We have report
developers that can't have access to Integration Services, Analysis Services,
Report Models, etc. What files or directories can we remove to limit their
access?
Thanks for your help!

| You do not need to run reporting services to design report with VS.NET. That
is, you can cut all your report developers' access to your reporting
services, they still can design report on their own computer, as long as
report designer is installed along with VS.NET and they have data source to
test it (of coourse they cannot test deployment).

| Thanks for the reply. We've installed vs.net 2005 but don't see report
designer. How do you install it? Is there a snap-in or plug-in for Report
Designer?
Thanks!

| Hi Norman, we have the same issue. It seems that VS 2005 does not ship with
report designer. Can it be downloaded seperately?

| Install the client tools from RS 2005. It no longer requires having VS. It
comes with it's own VS that gets installed if you don't have it.

| Hi Bruce,
We have installed the client tools from RS 2005 using the sql server 2005
release C2 disk. The problem is we need to be able to limit access to only
use Report Designer for certain developers. We don't want certain developers
to be able to use certain features such as SSIS, Analysis Services, Report
model designer, etc. Make sense? Is there a separate install for RS 2005
client tools?
Thanks for your help!

| What you can do is they can develop but they cannot deploy. That is easy.
Also you can manage rights to the database which would determine what they
can do. Not sure about Report model designer. I don't know much about that.
