Can you disable SQL query datasets in Report Builder 3.0?

Question

We have recently upgraded from Reporting Services 2005 to 2008 R2. In the 2005 version of Report Builder (1.0), you could only create reports from a published model. In the 2008 version (3.0) you can create reports from a model or from a SQL query.

We'd like to restrict users from being able to create reports from a SQL query and require them to use a model instead as we don't want them to be able to query the database directly. Is this possible?

Answer 1

You can prevent the users from having select access to the database itself. Use a separate account for the model.

The other part of this is a people problem, where you will have to explain to users what they need to do and why.
