How to create a role assignment

To create a role assignment

1. In Report Manager, navigate to and open the property pages of the item to which you want to apply the role assignment.
2. Click the Properties tab, and then click Security.
3. If the item already has item-specific security defined for it, click New Role Assignment.

   If the item uses the security settings of a parent item, click Edit Item Security, and then click New Role Assignment.

4. Type the name of a group or user account. You can specify only one account name for each role assignment.
5. Select one or more role definitions that describe how the user or group should access the item and its descendants, and then click OK.

   To determine which tasks a role definition supports, click the name of the role definition. If existing role definitions are insufficient, click New Role to create a new one.
