Use this page to view which tasks are included in an item-level role definition. You can also use this page to change the task list or modify a role description.
An item-level role definition is a named collection of tasks that users perform relative to a specific item (that is, a folder, report, resource, or shared data source). Role definitions are assigned to a user or group to create a role assignment in Report Manager. The tasks in the role definition describe what the user or group can do.
[!INCLUDEssRSnoversion] includes many predefined item-level role definitions that you can work with. You can modify the role definitions by changing the task list of each one. Editing a role definition affects all role assignments that include the role definition.
Note
User role assignments are used only on a report server that runs in native mode. If the report server is configured for SharePoint integration, this page displays read-only information about the roles and permission levels that are defined on the SharePoint site.
Name
Specifies the name of the role definition.
Description
Shows a description of the role definition. In [!INCLUDEssManStudioFull], this description is only visible in this page. In Report Manager, this description helps users decide whether to use the role in a role assignment.
Task
Lists all item-level tasks that can be selected for this role definition. You can add or remove items from the predefined task list to define how users access a given item through this role. You can't create new tasks, and you can't modify existing tasks. The task list of a role definition appears only in [!INCLUDEssManStudioFull].
Task Description
Provides information about each task. You can't modify task descriptions.
