Dynamic user security in Reporting Services

I'm creating a SSRS project and would like to know if it is possible to configure the security features for the project such that only a certain group of users can view each report and so that not every user can view every report in the project.

I have looked at the Role Assignment page in the Report Server management webpage and read the SQL Server Reporting Services book by Wrox programmers:

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=A...&safe=on&hl=en

, but can't find my answer there.

Please advise if this is possible?

Definetly,

SSRS directory and report viewing security can be controlled by ActiveDirectory. you can grant the various SSRS user roles to a specific user or group. ie.

MYDOMAIN/User
-or-
MYDOMAIN/SomeGroup

You can further customize SSRS by creating new roles within SSRS.

Thanks, I'll take that on board and try out these settings in Report Manager
