Hi,

How to grant folder level access to user?

I just created one folder and want to give specific user rull right on it. Please help.

Thanks

Mouse over the folder you created, click the arrow at the right, select Manage, Security, New Role Assignment, type username and check the boxes as necessary.

if you want user to take care of folder management by themselves then add them to MyReports role in reporting server.

sunitabeck,
I right clicked on newly created folder but did not see manage option. May be from somewhere else I should grant permissions.

Visakh,
This user already added to MyReports role. I granted him browse, myreports and publisher. When he tried to save reports on this folder he gets error message: " Failed to preview report. The permissions granted to user .... are insufficient for permforming this operation". Any help?

If you have a "Folder Settings" button, that would take you to security settings as well.

was he getting this error when he tried to preview the report in report builder?
then it might be that he's not running the application as an admin.
