If you are able to make it, come join us! We will have a social after the event :)

I will be presenting on a specific development task that is based on my previous blog entry on using the SPGridView Control and adding a TemplateField so that you can use a control such as a checkbox!  This topic has been the most popular entry on my blog by far, and I am happy to provide more details at the SharePoint Saturday event in San Francisco on April 25th. 

My post is at http://www.sharepointace.com/Blog/post/2007/11/SPGridView---Using-a-custom-TemplateField-to-add-a-Checkbox-Column.aspx

It’s true, if you are the smartest super guru in SharePoint, but you do not have the business acumen to fulfill the business need, you are less than desirable…

In this economy, you cannot be a heads down developer!  You have to open your eyes, and look beyond what the technical requirement is.  This will for sure lead to success!

ASSUMPTIONS

You have configured Reporting Services in Integration Mode successfully (Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Technologies is required)

SCENARIO

You only want Managers to view Account related data you have published using reports you have built and have published said reports to a SharePoint Report Library.  The Managers all are members of a SharePoint Group, for this scenario, we can call it Company Managers (creative, huh?).  Everything else is visible to all authenticated domain users.

HOW TO ACCOMPLISH THIS

Once you have published your Reports and Report Models to your Report Library, your next step is to do the following:

1. Right click on the Model (Test) in this case, and select Manage Model Item Security.
2. On the Model Security Item screen, check the box Secure individual model items independently for this model
3. Click once on the Item you wish to secure (You can secure one more level down if you wish)
4. Select the radio button Assign permissions to the following users and groups
5. Click OK

Running Reporting Services with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Add-in for Microsoft SharePoint Technologies in Integrated Mode brings powerful and rich functionality into your SharePoint Portal.  To view a list of specific features and functionality added, you read a nice article on the SharePoint Team Blog
