Controlling export formats based on user role

I'm using Reporting Services 2000 and I have a situation where I need to specify the file formats available to export. I know I can change the RSReportServer.config file to change these at a global level, but what I really need is to be able to configure these differently for different user groups. For example:

group 1 - has all available export formats available

group 2 - only has the ability to export to excel

group 3 - has no option to export to any format.

Is there a way for this to be done? If so, can anybody give me any pointers on how it can be done?

Any help given will be most appreciated!!

In Report Manager there is no way to limit export formats by role.

You would need to create a custom application to host the reporting services control, and limit your users in this way.

cheers,

Andrew
