BUG: Policy "Manage individual subscriptions" implemented incorrectly Roland

OK, I've tried various ways in order to get your attention (MSFT team).
Every attempt failed, unfortunately. Here is your bug report file. Take it
or ignore it, your decision.


Found at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/rswork/htm/rms_security_v1_4iid.asp

The Browser role is a predefined role that includes tasks that are useful
for a user who views reports but does not necessarily author or manage them.
This role provides basic capabilities for conventional use of a report
server. Without these tasks, it may be difficult for users to use a report
server.

The following table describes the tasks that are included in the Browser
role definition.


Task Description
View reports Run a report and view report properties.
View resources View resources and resource properties.
View folders View folder contents and navigate the folder hierarchy.
Manage individual subscriptions Create, view, modify, and delete
user-owned subscriptions to reports and linked reports, and create schedules
in support of those subscriptions.



Escpecially the last row is not entirely true. After creation of a
subscription the subscription is performed as scheduled. That is the TRUE
part. But the subscription can not be viewed, modified or deleted, simply
because it is never visible for BROWSERS after creation. The subscription
becomes visible again if BROWSERS get assigned the policy "Manage all
subscriptions" (as forseen for content managers and above). The drawback of
this work-around is the fact, that BROWSERS become much more rights to
modify CC and BCC, as necessary, and do see ALL subscriptions, even those
created by BROWSERS and above logged in using the same credentials.
