Built-in SSRS 2008 Roles

I couldn't find a satisfactory permission matrix for the built-in SSRS 2008 roles, so I'm publishing one here. This is a pretty comprehensive list; you may have to maximize your browser window for this!

For completeness, I'll mention that you can manage these roles by connecting to a Reporting Services instance and browsing the Security folder.

If you connect to the database engine, you can find the permissions encapsulated in the TaskMask column of the Roles table, in the ReportServer database. I would avoid editing the permissions there.

Enjoy!
