Allow Users to Configure Email on Report Subscription

  • Hi. A user wishes to manage their own subscriptions. The user is a member of the 'Browser Role' which has 'Manage Individual Subscriptions' selected. When the user attempts to configure the report delivery option (email) the 'To' field is greyed out so they are unable to specify the recipient.

    Can anyone advise.

    Many Thanks,

    Phil.

  • We have the same issue. Anyone no why the "To:" box is greyed out / protected when the user is in the BROWSER role?

  • Hi. I ended up assigning Content Manager + Publisher roles to users within specific AD groups.

  • thx Phil.. I wound up doing the following to resolve the issue:

    Reviewed Microsoft recommendation on this issue: "Configure a Report Server for E-Mail Delivery (Reporting Services)"

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159155.aspx -- Configuration Options for Setting the To: Field in a Message

    If you are using an SMTP server or forwarder that uses e-mail accounts that are different from the domain user account, the report delivery will fail when the SMTP server tries to deliver the report to that user.

    To workaround this issue, you can modify configuration settings that allow users to enter a name in the To: field:

    1. Open RSReportServer.config with a text editor.

    2. Set SendEmailToUserAlias to False.

    3. Set DefaultHostName to the Domain Name System (DNS) name or IP address of the SMTP server or forwarder.

    4. Save the file.

    5. Restart SSRS service

  • Subscriptions can be managed by "system administrators" not by "systemusers"
