Error while setting server report parameters. Error message: The permissions granted to user 'Domain\User' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)


Solution : This is nothing but the Permission issue which we have to assign to the user.

Open the Report Manager website for the Reporting Services instance. By default, the URL is http://[SSRSServerName]:80/Reports

For SSRS server name go to : System administration > Setup > business intelligence > Reporting services > Report Server > 

in reporting server information Tab you will get the server name

Step 1 : Click on Dynamics ax folder 

Step 2 : Click on Folder Settings.

Step 3 :  Click on Security.

Step 4 :  Click on New Role Assignment.

Step 5 : Enter the Active Directory user name or group to assign to the DynamicsAXBrowser role.

Step 6  : Select the DynamicsAXBrowser role.

Step  7 : Click OK

I hope Now you can access ssrs reports.

SSRS – Create child group in same column below parent

A few months ago I was developing a report and wanted a child group in the same column below its parent.  I did tried quite a few combinations of inserting and deleting of groups, rows and columns until I finally found the right way to do it.
This week I wanted a similar report and decided to write down the steps to accomplish that, otherwise simple task.  The example was made in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2.
We start by creating the parent group:
Then we create the child group:
In the parent insert row inside the group above:
This is how it will look like after creating the row inside above group:
Drag and drop to move the parent group field above the child field in the next column:
Delete the, now empty, column where the parent field previously was:
You’re done!  The child group is now below its parent:
