Reporting Services Administrator InfoCenter

A report server administrator installs, configures, secures, and maintains a report server deployment. A report server administrator determines report access and availability by specifying role assignments, report execution and data source property settings, and determining the availability of optional features. The administrator may also be called upon to create a disaster recovery plan, troubleshoot problems, and monitor and optimize report server performance. A report server administrator must also understand the network topology and configuration of the computers used to host and access SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services components.

Job titles that map to the report server administrator role include Database Administrator, Report Server Administrator (Corporate IT), Security Expert, or Lead Database Administrator.
