I have 50+ report parts which have specific AD Groups assigned to them as Browser.
This is so only certain people have access to the data.
To accomplish this, on the security settings I changed it by clicking 'Edit Item Security'
This resulted in SSRS not inheriting the security anymore (i.e If I put an individuals AD name for the project folder they would be given access to everything)
So all my report parts have individual groups as it stands, the problems is I now need to give 1 individual access to everything.
With the current set up this would mean adding them 1 by 1 to all the report parts however there is a button called 'Revert to parent security'.
My question is, if i click this will it remove all the individual group security settings I have applied or will it allow me to add 1 person to all whilst leaving all the others the same?
According to Books Online ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180265.aspx )
Revert to Parent Security will remove all the individual group security settings
Click to reset the security settings to that of the immediate parent
folder. If inheritance is unbroken throughout the report server folder
hierarchy, the security settings of the top-level folder, Home, are
used.
In your scenario, it seems that you have to add user individually to every secured item. You could do it programmatically using Reporting Services scripting host (see http://msftrsprodsamples.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=SS2008%21Script%20Samples%20%28Reporting%20Services%29 for some sample scripts) or Powershell ( see Using Powershell to set user permissions in Reporting Services for a sample)

In my site the guest users have access to the flow and they able to run the flow and even create records. When the flow try to find the created record the next error accrue:
Because Get_Record is passed to an action, subflow, or Lightning component, store the values of all Request_for_ChemTox__c fields that the running user has access to.
I gave access to every field for that user and still keep getting this error.
Any ideas?
It's probably not field level security (~table columns) but whole record's security (~table rows).
Check your site/community/experience settings as described in this article: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000352970&type=1. If there's something set - the ownership of created record is immediately transferred over to that internal user and guest loses visibility. It sucks but it's there to protect you, makes sure that if you have for example Leads or Cases submitted by guest users - they immediately "disappear", guest/hacker can't report on them, experiment with IDs in the url to learn other people's data...
You can Check Setup -> Sharing Settings for this object and create new sharing rule. (I can't upload image right now but start making new sharing rule with step 2 "rule type = Guest user access, based on criteria")
https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.networks_guest_record_default_owner_best_practices.htm&type=5 has some good tips too:
If you’d like to create a different experience for guest users, use
flows in System Mode to redirect guest users to a different custom
screen after they create a record
Ok, so I need a really Active Directory expert for this one.
I am encoutering a problem where I view different things from different LDAP Browsers.
I want to view the deleted objects container.
When I access Active Directory through ADExplorer I can see this container. When I access the same Active Directory, with the same user from JXplorer I cannot see the deleted objects container.
Also from Softera LDAP Browser happens the same as JXPlorer
Do you have any idea why this is happening?
Do you have maybe any other LDAP Browser you can reccomend?
Thanks
The ability to enumerate the deleted objects container in Active Directory will depend on the software in use (as you found out). To be able to view the deleted objects container (and any deleted objects in general), the software needs to use the LDAP control called LDAP_SERVER_SHOW_DELETED_OID. From the MSDN page:
LDAP_SERVER_SHOW_DELETED_OID control code
The LDAP_SERVER_SHOW_DELETED_OID control is used with an extended LDAP
search function to specify that the search results include any deleted
objects that match the search filter.
Unless the software lets you use a custom LDAP control when connecting to AD (or has builtin support for viewing deleted objects in AD), then it wont be able to see them at all.
In our SonarQube 5.4 we authenticate in Active Directory using LDAP plugin and specifying just one property in sonar.properties:
sonar.security.realm=LDAP
(according to http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/Microsoft+Active+Directory)
It's a shame they removed the feature to disable updating user properties on every login:
sonar.security.updateUserAttributes = false
See this:
https://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONAR-7219
We've been using it, as update on every login removes assignment of users to SonarQube built-in groups, e.g. sonar-administrators.
I can give individual users whatever rights in Administration > Security > Global Permissions, but I'd prefer to do this for SonarQube groups, as we have lots of users.
Reflecting the whole setup of groups in AD is difficult, as our Infrastructure teams are too slow and bureaucratic
Is there any other way to achieve what we want?
UPDATE
I've tried configuring empty values for group properties:
ldap.group.baseDn=
ldap.group.request=
ldap.group.idAttribute=
But it doesn't help - every login group membership is resynchronized again from AD and membership in internal SQ groups is removed.
In order to disable group synchronisation from LDAP, you can simply remove properties ldap.group.*.
See "Group Mapping" http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/LDAP+Plugin.

For the CQ5 environment I work on we have a farm of publisher servers. Some of the content on these servers is restricted so only users who belong to certain groups can see the content. I'd like to script the setting of permissions for the folders (nodes) that are to be secured so I don't have to manually repeat the steps of applying security using the Access Control Editor of Content Explorer (This Adobe documentation has instructions for doing it manually via Access Control Editor). The scenario is that sometimes new folders are to be created to hold secure pages, and we want to apply permissions to the folders prior to activating any content into those folders.
Since the environment has several publishers, it is repetitive, manual, and error-prone work to open Content Explorer and set the permissions on each one. I'd like to do be able to automate this so I could roll out permissions to all the servers via a script--perhaps via a curl command or some other mechanism (perhaps a package?) that can be automated.
I found the Sling jackrabbit-accessmanager bundle that seems like it will facilitate automation of this, but it seems like it opens a security hole. If I put this bundle on my publishers, it seems like I would be providing an REST interface to let anyone modify the permissions and grant access to folders/nodes that should be secured or to add security restrictions on nodes that should have none.
How can I automate the creation/modification of node permissions via a script--and do so in a way that only allows an administrator to apply the permissions changes?
This tool lets you manage permissions in a centralised way, they can also be installed automatically at deploy time:
https://github.com/Netcentric/accesscontroltool
Regarding permissions applied to new folders, the solution is setting permission properly on their parent folder. CQ/AEM will automatically apply the same permissions to all children unless another rule break the inheritance.
I found one alternative I hadn't considered before: using the Day CQ ACL Setup Service. It is mentioned at http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/5-5/developing/security_model_changes.html.
AclSetupService allows one to add permission to a single path or a given user/group. This will be applied on each restart of CQ to guaranteed a certain permission state within CQ. For example, "allow;inherit;everyone;/" prevent everyone from accessing CQ (i.e. it forces all users to login first). As noted in the description of AclSetupService, you will need the following pattern per entry:
( "allow" | "deny" ) ";" ( privileges | "inherit" ) ";" principal ";" path
Choose either "allow" or "deny" for the first part.
Next enter one of the privilege below or set it to inherit permission from ancestor.
Then enter a single user/group.
Finally enter a single path to apply the permission to.
Using this will replace permission set within the repository when you restart CQ. These could be scripted by using the process outlined here and here.
Privileges can be:
jcr:read
rep:write
jcr:all
crx:replicate
imp:setComplete
jcr:addChildNodes
jcr:lifecycleManagement
jcr:lockManagement
jcr:modifyAccessControl
jcr:modifyProperties
jcr:namespaceManagement
jcr:nodeTypeDefinitionManagement
jcr:nodeTypeManagement
jcr:readAccessControl
jcr:removeChildNodes
jcr:removeNode
jcr:retentionManagement
jcr:versionManagement
jcr:workspaceManagement
jcr:write
rep:privilegeManagement
If you would like to use the Sling jackrabbit-accessmanager bundle on a publish instance it is possible. You would want to make sure your dispatcher which sits in front of the publish instance does not allow the permission requests (/.modifyAce., .deleteAce., etc) and the publish instances can only be accessed directly from inside your network. It's standard practice to deny all requests in the dispatcher and specify what is allowed.
Is there are reason you are not just replicating the permissions when the folder is activated? There should be a rep:policy node underneath the secure folder which gets replicated.
I have a problem on my silverlight application.
I login in my application using my ID (assume x) (using Internet explore 8),
so assume i can see some reports which is releated to my ID.
Without closing the above browser in another Internet explore 8 in the same machine i am login into the
same application using another ID(assume y), so now i can see 2nd set of reports which is related to this ID.
Now If i refresh the report page of the first browser which is got logged with the ID (x), I am seeing the (y)
userid's report not the earlier.
How to fix this?
Thanks
In internet explorer choose "New Session" from the "File" menu. This will create a new IExplore.exe process tree which manages its own set of session level cookies. This should allow you to maintain two separate logins at the same time.
Sounds like you are using the ASP membership provider... if so that is limited to 1 session per browser/user on the same PC (same limitation if it was a web app).
Why are you trying to login 2 different users from the same machine? If it is for testing you can probably open two different browsers (IE and FireFox?) and get two session that way.
Update (based on comments below):
Option A. As you need multiple user logins on the same machine in the same browser type, you cannot use the asp membership provider and will have to replace that provider with a Silverlight-specific credential/login system.
Option B. The alternative is to change your application to allow selection of client from within the app (this would be my choice as you are misusing users as a convenience).
