SCOM SSRS permissions

Let’s discuss SCOM SSRS permissions.  The SCOM Reporting role install really comes down to three (3) things – permissions, latest SSRS EXE downloaded (for install 2019, 2022), and ReportExtensions configuration.  I’ve hit some permission issues that need more ‘how to’ details.

 

Set SCOM Admins group permissions

Whether the permissions are set up as part of a group policy (GPO) or not, if these steps are missing, expect problems.

Verify that your SCOM Admins domain group is a local administrator on the SCOM servers (SSRS server in this case)

Right click on Start > Computer Management

Expand System Tools

Expand Local Users and Groups

Click on Groups

Double click on Administrators

Verify SCOM Admins group, or specific service/MSA accounts are listed

Computer Management with Administrators group properties documenting relevant members which include the SCOM Admins group, and any other SQL related service accounts.

Click OK

 

 

Set SQL Instance permissions for SCOM Admins group

Reference Holman’s QuickStart > Install SCOM Reporting Role…

  • Log on using your domain user account that is a member of the OMAdmins group, and has “sysadmin” role level rights over the SQL instance.

RDP to server with SSMS that connects to SQL server

Connect to Database Engine

Expand instance , then expand Security folder, thirdly expand Logins folder

Right click on the SCOM Admins group and select properties

In the pop-up, click on SQL Server Role

Verify that sysAdmin

Follow similar steps if using a domain connected SVC/MSA account when configuration differs from Holman’s QuickStart template.

 

Additional troubleshooting from the SCOM install can be found in the user’s directory – C:\Users\<accountHere>\AppData\Local\SCOM\LOGS

 

Find additional details in the SQL install logs

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS13.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles

NOTE that the Instance and version 'MSRS13.MSSQLSERVER' can change

  1. Morning, I have the standard “extensions” that SSRS adds upon install. I added ,*.* to the end of that line of extensions.
    I get the following error in SCOM.

    10/10/2024 9:09:10 AM
    Property Name Property Value
    Status Error
    PortalStatusCode 500
    PortalErrors An error occurred when invoking the authorization extension. (rsAuthorizationExtensionError) Value does not fall within the expected range.
    HttpStatusCode
    RestStatusCode 0
    RestServiceErrors

    I have tried looking in the logs and config files I could find but I do not see anything that I understand.
    Could you give me some pointers or suggestions?
    Thank you,
    Tony

  2. Morning, I wanted to add that everything checks out in the Report Server Configuration Manager on the server where SSRS 2022 is installed.

    1. Good morning,
      I’d check rights for the account you’re logged into, and the specified account for the SCOM Reporting role wizard.

      Some additional help is in the SCOM install logs
      Typically found under C:\Users\\AppData\Local\SCOM\LOGS

      Holman has this in his QuickStart guides for SCOM Reporting Role:
      Log on using your domain user account that is a member of the OMAdmins group, and has ‘sysadmin’ role level rights over the SQL instance.
