Totally off the security rights topic... can anyone point me in the right direction to get some information on realistic salary levels in the US for SSRS developers?

@gus
Thanks for your input.
I think the type of work our devs are doing must differ greatly from yours (more ETL processes), and I have never had a dev say they want sysadmin to test out SQL Injection attacks, if they ever do I'll grant it (temporarily). 🙂
BTW - if they have sysadmin they can restore their own databases, I'd be too busy 🙂

In the case of ETL, I would treat these devs at the same level of perms as Grant said. Otherwise, as Gus said - dev environment is very similar to a sandbox for the devs.

George,
I used to give Devs only the same access as the application in development. That was mainly because I'd end up with tables like this
Create Table Customer
( CustomerID varchar(100)
, Customer_Name varchar(200)
, Active bit
, Status bit
, IsLocal bit
, Address1 varchar(4000)
, Address2 varchar(4000)
, workphone varchar(50)
, workphone2 varchar(50)
/*edited for brevity */
So on their own instance, on their own machine, they can do what the want, but in shared environments, limited access.
As I got better developers, I'd let them create their own objects, but they had to be reviewed before they went to QA, which got messy, because I learned that developers, and even DBAs, tend to suck at tracking changes. If you have a tool like Red Gate's SQL Compare, it's better, but honestly when things get pushed, code slips through.
So the easy way was to force developers to only build in their own instance, or in their own schema, and then have a "deployment" to a shared schema on a shared server.
YMMV with different developers, but depending on who management backs, more restrictions actually meant more code getting to users and working.

thanks for the feedback folks.
Some interesting viewpoints and thoughts.

Salary.com is pretty good for general levels in geographic specific areas, but they would list it as a Report Developer (generic) position. They don't list by software type.
I get a monthly salary report for free, MOF. The only issue is that since I haven't paid for the detailed report (which includes my skills, experiences, and qualifications), it's only a range from lowest to highest and doesn't tell me what *I* should be making.

Thanks - I wasn't finding anything on salary.com, but was searching under SSRS, not a generic Report Developer.
I'm not looking for myself - we're debating splitting a job and hiring someone, and I want to at least get an idea what kind of budget we need to be thinking about in the early stages of our planning process.
Much appreciated!

You're quite welcome.
If you can't find what you want under Report Developer, try searching under IT - ALL. It lists several subgroups of IT positions and you can scroll through the list until you find the title closest to what you want.

Will do. Again - thanks!

Off to the UK for a week and a half. Can some people keep an eye on the corruption forums make sure that any problems don't get unchallenged stupid advice?

I'll do what I can, but I don't own a katana to make sure they fear me. I'll just need to use this Nyquil induced haze of insanity I appear to have at the moment.
EDIT: Ooops, oh yeah, sorry. Enjoy your trip!
