Causes and Fixes
This can be caused by incorrect database rights:
- Open SQL Management Console and expand the tree down to ION_Data > Users.
- In the right hand pane double click on Report to show properties.
- It should only have Public, db_datareader and ION_Reader checked.
- If you need to alter this cancel out of the above screens and expand the tree in the left hand pane and go to Security > Logins.
- Double click Reports in the right hand pane > Database Access tab> now edit the database role (to allow the three access rights mentioned in step #3).
