Logging into SSRS using credentials stored in a database table?

  • Hi,

    Would it be possible for users to access the SSRS reports web portal by entering in credentials that are stored in a database table? and if so how would I go about doing that?

    Thanks 🙂

  • Yes,
    you can use function in report with parameter @user (its default in ssrs). In database where you have data add mapping data to user and at report visibility set hidden where count = 0.
    uUser with count 0 see nothing or eg: "no data found" user with count > 0 see all. But at datasource you must specify user and pass to database.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply, is this for specifically viewing a report or just navigating to the SSRS web link? What I am wanting to achieve is when users click on the link for SSRS (which in my case will be something like http://svr023/reports) they will instantly be asked to enter credentials, these credentials are for our case management system and are stored in a table in the database. From there I would like to manage permissions and change what information the reports show depending on who views it (but that is a different problem for another day). 

    Will this be possible?
