SSRS data shared data source connection login

  • Was wondering if there was a best practice minimum permissions for creating a SQL login to use when setting up a new shared Data source for SSRS report manager?

    Something along the lines of them being a data read for the DB and permissions to update tempdb?

    Would have thought it not advisable to have the login be able to update the main db

    You can create a service account that has db_datareader role. If you are executing stored procs in the report then you will need to give the account EXECUTE permissions on your stored procs.
