You're in the
sql server reporting services
group:enabling anonymous access
sql server reporting services:
the company to view certain reports but only a select few to create them (while I administer the site). I understand how to add users specifically (Windows NT logins) and assign them roles, so I'm partway there. What I can't see is how to also enable anonymous access, either generally or to specific reports or report folders. If I turn anonymous access on in IIS for the Reports and/or Reportserver folders, I lose the ability to administer the site. If I turn it off, anonymous users can't get in. Security seems either black or white and I'm looking for some shade of grey. I've tried numerous combinations of settings and nothing has worked. I've added the server's IUSR account to the SSRS solution but it didn't make any difference. Guest account is disabled on the server. What am I missing here? Is it an IAS problem? Note that IAS is on but not registered in Active Directory for this server (IT is resisting enabling that) so I hope that's not the problem here. Thanks all, Randall Arnold
You don't have to do individual users. You can also use groups. Almost all
domains have a group that includes everybody (for instance a group called Users). Just add this group to the browser roll. -- Bruce Loehle-Conger MVP SQL Server Reporting Services [quoted text, click to view] "Randall Arnold" <randall.nospam.arnold@nokia.com.> wrote in message news:1158332996.554286@xnews001... > I'm developing an SSRS 2000 solution that will require allowing anyone in > the company to view certain reports but only a select few to create them > (while I administer the site). > > I understand how to add users specifically (Windows NT logins) and assign > them roles, so I'm partway there.

We have a User group that I tried but no luck. But your general idea should
be sound so I'll keep digging, thanks.

What I do that simplifies things for me is I create a local group (called
something like Reports). I then add the domain groups and users to it. I then use this local group to add to a role. -- Bruce Loehle-Conger MVP SQL Server Reporting Services [quoted text, click to view] "Randall Arnold" <randall.nospam.arnold@nokia.com.> wrote in message news:1158362815.849245@xnews001... > We have a User group that I tried but no luck.
