Reporting Services Configuration Manager User does not have permission to perform this action

Question

I am trying to connect the Reporting Services Configuration Manager installed on my application server to a ReportServer database located on another server.

I am using a domain account, to connect Reporting Services Configuration Manager to the database.

the domain account has the following permissions on these databases:

• public and RSExecRole roles for the ReportServer database.

• RSExecRole role for the master, msdb, and ReportServerTempDB databases.

futhermore the domain account has db owner permissions on ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB

In the Database Server section I specify the sql server\instance and use Current User- Integrated Security. I am logged in as the domain user that I want to use to connect to the database. The username also shows this particular user which is correct. Test Connection is successful

In the Database section I select the ReportServer

In the Credentials section I tried Authentication Type both as Service Credentials and Windows Credentials but they both result in the same error below.

The error happens during Applying connection rights.

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: User does not have permission to perform this action.

Answer 1

The very bottom of this link says you also need db_owner on master and MSDB

http://answers.flyppdevportal.com/categories/sqlserver/sqlreportingservices.aspx?ID=21cdcb58-2348-451c-b51a-3d55167f9be2

To paraphrase the link:

What stands out is “No DSN present in configuration file” so I created a System DSN and got the same results. I then went to the rsreportserver.config file and manually entered the DSN. This showed up in the log:

"FailedToDecryptConfigInformationException: The encrypted value for the " Dsn" configuration setting cannot be decrypted"

So it appears that Reporting Services has to encrypt the DSN and save it in the file.

I searched other sites and found people who had the “No DSN present in configuration file” message because they did not create create the database using the Report Server Configuration Manager. Creating the database should input the DSN info in the rsreportserver.config file. However, it is not doing so in this case.
