Report manager security and dbo.PolicyUserRole table issue

  • Recently I was analyzing a report/query which returns a list of users by role for a particular folder on the Report Manager. My issue is that my query returned two users that should not have access. I then navigated to the particular folder in the Report Manager to view the security. To my surprise, the users were not visible.

    Assuming my query is correct, how can this be? I assume that the dbo.PolicyUserRole table ultimately controls what items for a user by role that they have access to. Based on what I visibly see in the security property in Rpt Mgr, the associated records in dbo.PolicyUserRole for my issue should not exist.

    Here is a snippet of my query...

    SELECT UserName, Path, RoleName

    FROM dbo.Catalog

    INNER JOIN dbo.PolicyUserRole ON dbo.PolicyUserRole.PolicyID = dbo.Catalog.PolicyID

    INNER JOIN dbo.Users ON dbo.Users.UserID = dbo.PolicyUserRole.UserID

    INNER JOIN dbo.Roles ON dbo.Roles.RoleID = dbo.PolicyUserRole.RoleID

    WHERE Type = 1 and Path <> ''

    ORDER BY Path, UserName

    Please share any thoughts, concerns, or questions that you may have.

    Thank you in advance,

  • Any thoughts on this? We are still struggling for a solution.

  • I have a script that I did that is similar to yours I have an additional join in it.

    try this one:

    SELECT UserName, Path, RoleName

    FROM dbo.Catalog

    INNER JOIN dbo.Policies on dbo.Policies.PolicyID = dbo.Catalog.PolicyID

    INNER JOIN dbo.PolicyUserRole ON dbo.PolicyUserRole.PolicyID = dbo.Policies.PolicyID

    INNER JOIN dbo.Users ON dbo.Users.UserID = dbo.PolicyUserRole.UserID

    INNER JOIN dbo.Roles ON dbo.Roles.RoleID = dbo.PolicyUserRole.RoleID

    WHERE Type = 1 and Path <> ''

    ORDER BY Path, UserName
