Add multitenancy support
As a user utilizing the Report Server product, I need to use a single instance of it to serve two or more completely separated divisions/clients so that they do not have access to each other's assets, so that I do not have to make two different deployments of the server and support them. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitenancy

Hi, any updates on this feature request? Multitenancy is a really desirable/necessary feature in a report server. Thank you.

Hi,

I am sorry to see your disappointment and frustration with our planning and delivery.

Many factors influence our decision when to plan a specific feature, among which are the votes on the portal, however, there’s also the strategic direction in which we want to take the product, as well as other considerations. Most of the releases in the last years were focused on the Web Report Designer, which gets better and better and now allows full web experience while working with the Report Server. This is one of the reasons multitenancy got postponed.

The next big focus for us is the VS-embedded Telerik Reporting designer for .NET Core and .NET 5+ projects, so multitenancy is not in the immediate roadmap for R3 2022.

Please, if you have specific requirements for this feature share them here or we may arrange a call if you prefer so that we have these in mind once we approach it.

Regards,

WOW - you have some seriously LONG WAY FORWARD plans.

This has been 'in our plans' for almost 5 years.

There's only 1 item in 'Planned' state and that has not votes at all, most of your 'Complete' requests had fewer than 3 votes - how come this request has 21 votes but it is still NOT planned?

Hi Espen,

The multitenancy feature is in our plans and will be implemented based on its priority. The task is not started yet.

I can suggest a workaround for your requirements though. You may set the ConnectionString through Bindings as explained in the Change Connection String dynamically through a report parameter KB article. Instead of Report Parameter, you may utilize User Function that takes as an argument the logged user - for example through the UserIdentity global object. The function should return the correct connection string based on the user. The approach with the user function is recommended as the Report Parameter values are included in the Url with the request for the report, which will be a security issue. Note that this approach won't work for Report Parameter AvailableValues SqlDataSource.

Any news on this feature?

As Frank, we have a single page application. We currently deploy one solution for each customer, but are in the process of implementing multi tenancy. We are facing the choice between sharing database between multiple customers or having one database each, but common web services for the customers.

- If we go for separate databases, it looks like report management can become a major pain as we have to duplicate reports with custom connection string in each

- If we go for shared database, I fear that it will not be possible to let customers design their own reports as we cannot prevent them from seeing other customer's data.

Any advice on how to solve this with Telerik report server?

Hello Frank,

This actually looks like a different feature request. As I get it you would like to have one and the same set of reports for each user, without copying them. Just have a different DB connection for each client.
Multi-tenancy on the other side is like gmail. Each client has its own set of assets (like reports, emails, does not matter) and does not share any assets with other users.

Please elaborate, so that together we decide if a separate feature request should be created.

Yes exactly.

We are developing a multi-client SPA in which each customer receives their own database.
So nobody can see each other's data.

In our project, we want to integrate the Report Viewer, which should display a standard set of reports from the report server.
Each client receives an account on the report server.

Depending on the authenticated user, only the data connection for the reoprt must then be dynamically adapted to his DB.

Currently, this is only possible by creating a category (with appropriate rights) and a data connection to its database for each client. Then a series of reports for him purely copied. And in these reports, the data connection adapts.

The administration of many customers is then very cumbersome and error-prone.
