Hi, you can set the connection string of the DataItem's SqlDataSource using report parameter and Bindings. The current user will be available in the expressions context once we implement this feature request: https://feedback.telerik.com/Project/171/Feedback/Details/175614-provide-information-abut-the-current-report-user

The web application knows the database dynamically according to some login parameters (application name, system module, ...).
It will be good to have an option to use the report server as a shared storage for reports, and on execution, pass the connection string to the report on-fly.

Also, another case when we isolate data in the database by use schemas (owners, logged in users). So, the same report will be executed with a multi-users.

Hi,

Can you elaborate a bit more on this feature request? Is it a general feature you want us to implement for the Telerik Reporting Report Viewers, and how is that related to the Report Server?

Thanks,
Iana
