System Administrator Role

The System Administrator role is a predefined role that includes tasks that are useful for a report server administrator who has overall responsibility for a report server, but not necessarily for the content within it.

To create a role assignment that includes this role, use the Site Settings page in Report Manager or use the right-click commands on the report server node in Management Studio.

The System Administrator role does not convey the same full range of permissions that a local administrator might have on a computer. Rather, the System Administrator role includes operations that are performed at the site level, and not the item level. For users who require access to both site-wide operations and items stored on the report server, create a second role assignment on the Home folder that includes the Content Manager role. Together, the two role definitions provide a complete set of tasks for users who require full access to all items on a report server.
