Content Management

The Content Manager role is a predefined role that includes tasks that are useful for a user who manages reports and Web content, but does not necessarily author reports or manage a Web server or SQL Server instance. A content manager deploys reports, manages report models and data source connections, and makes decisions about how reports are used. All item-level tasks are selected by default for the Content Manager role definition.

The Content Manager role is often used with the System Administrator 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. Although the Content Manager role provides full access to reports, report models, folders, and other items within the folder hierarchy, it does not provide access to site-level items or operations. Tasks such as creating and managing shared schedules, setting server properties, and managing role definitions are system-level tasks that are included in the System Administrator role.
