    RE: User can't access MR report

    As far as I remember having used the web browser, IE works best for authentication as it's fully Windows integrated.. Everything else requres separate authentication (Chrome, FireFox, etc).

    Why don't they use the MR Viewer client ? the rich client is much better for visualizing the reports, and it can be set to open by default in MR Designer.. though you may publish MR reports by sending URL links to the end users .... or how do they get access to the reports itself ?

    They are using a Web Browser.  Any advice on what specifically to look for in windows authentication or security?

    Hi Brenda,

    Is the user trying to open the report in the Web Browser (IE or Edge) or by using the full MR 2012 Viewer client ? the Web Browser can sometimes be tricky around windows authentication and security.
