Setting permissions programmatically

Setting permissions programmatically

• Mark Greene

  Dim rs As New ReportingService2005()
  rs.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("username", "password")
  rs.Url = "http://localhost/reportserver/ReportingService2005.asmx"
  

  Dim txtRoleName As String = "Browser"

  
  Dim Item As String = "/"
  
  Dim Policies(1) As Policy
  
  Policies(0) = New Policy
  
  Policies(0).GroupUserName = TxtUser.ToString
  
  Policies(0).Roles = New Role(0) {}
  
  Policies(0).Roles(0) = New Role
  
  Policies(0).Roles(0).Name = txtRoleName
  
  Policies(0).Roles(0).Description = "May view folders and reports."

  rs.SetPolicies(Item, Policies)

  I get the following error:

  Client found response content type of '', but expected 'text/xml'. The request failed with an empty response.

  Any ideas

  Ryan,

  I am using ASP.NET for this coding and the authentication is "Windows".

  This code i did for just for learning purpose.

  I am creating "MyRptService" in the Page_load event

  Also I set a referance to the webservice in the project.

  Below is the code

  private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

  {

  // Put user code to initialize the page here

  SecurityScopeEnum SSEnum=new SecurityScopeEnum();

  MyRptService.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("dinesh", "password", "domain");

  }

  I just put a button for click and 3 text boxes for ObjectName,UserName and RoleName respectively.

  See the code.

  private void btnAddUser_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

  {

  Policy[] MyPolicyArr = new Policy[1];

  Policy MyPolicy = new Policy();

  Role[] MyRoles=new Role[1];

  Role MyRole=new Role();

  MyRole.Name=txtRoleName.Text;

  MyPolicy.GroupUserName =@ txtUserName.Text;

  MyRoles[0]=MyRole ;

  MyPolicy.Roles=MyRoles;

  MyPolicyArr[0]=MyPolicy;

  MyRptService.SetPolicies(txtObjectName.Text, MyPolicyArr);

  }

  I put

  txtRoleName.Text="Browser"

  txtUserName.Text="Domain\UserName"

  txtObjectName.Text="\ObjectName" (Provided the object was a report saved in the home folder.)

  Hope this would be useful

  Thanks

  Dinesh

  Did you ever get this to work

  
  

• SnowFiveOfNine

  Did you do somethin like this:

  Dim MyRptService As ReportingService2005

  before you did this:

  MyRptService.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("dinesh", "password", "domain");

  
  

• KjellSJ

  i am thinking it is more like this (VB)

  Dim rs As ReportingService2005
  Dim Item As String = "/"
  Dim Policies() As Policy
  Policies(0) = New Policy
  Policies(0).GroupUserName = TxtUser.ToString
  Policies(0).Roles = New Role(0) {}
  Policies(0).Roles(0) = New Role
  Policies(0).Roles(0).Name = "Browser"
  Policies(0).Roles(0).Description = "May view folders and reports."
  rs.SetPolicies(Item, Policies)

  But what if you are not using windows authenication. i am trying to get this to work with forms authenication. Do i need to anything different

  when you do this:

  MyRptService.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("dinesh", "password", "domain");

  are you keeping these Network Credential constant as you add diffrent users as browsers, or are you changing this with each one

  
  

• Miriyala

  ReportingService2005 rs = new ReportingService2005();

  Policy ps = new Policy();

  ps.GroupUserName =@"se\myuser";

  Policy[] psarrays = new Policy[1]{ps};

  rs.SetPolicies("/report1", psarrays);

  Please mark the correct posts as answers

  reference the ReportService2005.asmx

  and use the following method

  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.wssux.reportingserviceswebservice.rsmanagementservice2005.reportingservice2005.setpolicies(SQL.90).aspx

  with the policy object

  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.wssux.reportingserviceswebservice.rsmanagementservice2005.policy.aspx

  There are no examples there but you will find out with a little of investigations, this is the starting point

  Dinesh,

  Are you doing this VIsual Studio

  We are using Forms Authencation not windows authenication. Where do you define MyRptService

  Also, I want my item to be the Home Folder.

  THanks for you help

  Hi ,

  This code is working

  Policy[] MyPolicyArr = new Policy[1];

  Policy MyPolicy = new Policy();

  Role[] MyRoles=new Role[1];

  Role MyRole=new Role();

  MyRole.Name="Browser";

  MyPolicy.GroupUserName =@"Domain\User";

  MyRoles[0]=MyRole ;

  MyPolicy.Roles=MyRoles;

  MyPolicyArr[0]=MyPolicy;

  MyRptService.SetPolicies("/ReportName", MyPolicyArr);

  Regards
