Add roles to Windows user accounts for Server Reporting Services (SSRS) permissions

Add Content Manager and System User roles to Windows user accounts for Server Reporting Services (SSRS) permissions

During the installation or upgrade of Report Manager, you will be asked to provide credentials for a Windows User Account. This is a Windows account with access to SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). Report Manager will use this account to generate and schedule reports.

The password can contain any letters and numbers, and only the following special characters: # $ % ^ - _ = + !

You will need to add the following user roles to a Windows user account:

• Content Manager
• System

Before adding these roles, make sure that you have reviewed the system requirements and installation prerequisites, and that the SQL Server is properly configured.

Use SQL Server Reporting Services to add these roles.
