Credentials and SharePoint Permissions

One of the strength of SharePoint is that it brings permissions management at the Business Manager level. Enesys RS Data Extension respects SharePoint permissions. It will retrieve data using the Credentials settings you have configured at the data source level.

By using Windows Authentication Integrated Security, you can ensure that the user running the report will only get data for which he has the necessary SharePoint permissions.

On the other hand, by using Stored Credentials, you can allow users to execute specific reports that will display data from SharePoint sites or lists for which they do not have permissions.

Claims, Forms and Windows Authentication

Enesys RS Data Extension supports SharePoint Web Applications configured with Claims (SharePoint 2010 only) and Classic authentication. Both Windows and Forms-Based authentication types are supported.

When reporting over SharePoint Forms-Based web sites, you just need to set a single property in the connection string.
