Users will need access to the system database (usually called DYNAMICS), as well as any company databases on which they want to run reports. The first thing we will need to do is check the box which is marked Map for any databases we want the users to have access to.

This will show a list of all of our databases which exist on this SQL server. From the left hand menu, we will select User Mapping so we can grant permissions for our reports. We have selected our user, but we have not really given them any security yet. We will want to go back to the New Login… window that we started on. Once you have found the object which you want to secure, click ok on this window. Make sure the location is set to the domain which the users exist in and that the object types include groups. Within this window, we will type the name of the user or the group that we want to grant security for.

From here, we will want to search for our windows logins or groups that we need to secure. Notice how we have the radio button for Windows Authentication selected and not SQL Server Authentication. Within SQL management studio, we will expand the Security section, right click Logins, and select New Login. It is really less creating a new login as it is letting SQL know about an existing windows login or group. The first thing you will have to do is to create the windows login or group within SQL management studio. You will need to have elevated permissions within Management Studio in order to set the security, so I recommend an administrator account or the ‘sa’ account. I like to start within SQL Server Management Studio.

We can secure on individual users, though I would recommend using an Active Directory Security Group for ease of management. This is how we will secure our SSRS reports. This brings us to a different form of authentication using windows credentials. What we need is a different way to secure these reports. This basically means that we can’t use these logins for anything except a Dynamics GP product (this includes Dynamics GP, Management Reporter and specific Dynamics GP third party solutions).

In order to prevent these users from logging directly into the database itself and reviewing all of the information we have stored in our ERP system, Dynamics GP encrypts these passwords. Dynamics GP uses SQL logins for the user authentication within the application itself. So why is security such a big issue?įirst, we need to understand why security is not the same as our Dynamics GP user’s security. They also available in Dynamics GP out of the box. They offer the flexibility of exporting the reports to a number of formats (namely Excel), are extremely customizable and can even display information in a graphical format (Charts and KPIs) instead of purely text. SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reports are one of the best ways to get and review data in Microsoft Dynamics GP. Let’s look at SQL Server Reporting Services reports and how we can resolve this kind of error: This is a common error in SQL Server Reporting Services reports which is caused by incorrect security setup.
