new custom system role

Hi
We are trying to setup security on the RS server and looking for some
pointers to get started.
By default, the BUILTIN\Administratots group has been setup for the reports
when you open the Report Manager. We would like to define a new group of
"users" who would have access to only view the reports and save/export to
the format they desire. They should not be able to make any changes tio the
site settings etc.
Here'r the steps that we performed:
1) created a new group called"MyUsers" on the server.
2) In the Report Server, unser "configure Site-wide security" -> System Role
Requirements, assigned a new role: "MyUsers" and assigned the "system User"
role. The "system Administrator" box has been unchecked.
3) Now when the reports are accessed from a user's machine, the RS url is
accessible but none of the unserlying report oflders are displayed. The RS
Home page is displayed with all the report folders hidden.
Is there anything we are missing? pls help.
Thanks
GarySystem User is only able to view some properties of report server and list
of shared schedules. It can not browse folders and view reports.
You need to assign item-level role.
It looks like "Browser" role is what you need.

new custom flat file connection manager component

The standard flat file connection component does not handle flat files with different column counts on different rows. Since that's the type of file I have to read, I like to create a modified version of the flat file connection manager that can do this. I have found some info in how to create a connection manager. But I can't find anything that tels me how to build one that would be recognized by the flat file source dataflow component.

So how do you build an connection manager that can used by the standard flat file source component? Anyone ever did this or knows were to get the docs?

I know my problem is also solvable by reading the row into a single column and then using a script component to split them but that is not the solution I want.

The new connection manager is not going to solve this problem. The parsing logic is not part of the connection manager, it is part of the Flat File source adapter. You would need to build a new source, not connection manager.

Thanks,

Bob
