Run the Endpoint Privilege Management Reporting Pack Installer
To install the Endpoint Privilege Management Reporting Pack:
- Run the PrivilegeManagementReportingPack.exe installation package as a user with the Report Writer permissions.
- Click Next to continue. The License Agreement dialog box displays.
- After reading the license agreement, select I accept the terms in the license agreement and click Next to continue.
- Enter your name and the name of your organization and click Next to continue. The Database Server dialog box displays.
- Enter the report server URL (the reports fail to upload if you enter an incorrect URL). Enter the database to use by the SQL Server Reporting Services instance.

- Click Next to continue. The Reporting Services Authentication dialog box appears.
- Enter the ReportReader account as the account used to connect to the data source.
The ReportReader account is used by the Reporting Services to connect to the database instance when generating dashboards and reports. The account must be the same account that was entered during the Endpoint Privilege Management Database Installer.
If Credentials stored locally in the report server is not selected, then any users authorized to access Endpoint Privilege Management Reporting must have their account credentials added to the SsrsRole database role.
- Click Next to continue. The Reporting Services Admin Authentication dialog box appears.
This feature is optional and may not be desirable in environments that need tight control over purging of audit data.
- The purpose of this report is to allow the purging (and subsequent exclusion) of applications from populating the database with unwanted data.
- Use the DataAdmin account for this purpose.
- Click Next to continue. The Ready to Install the Program dialog box displays.
- Click Install to complete the installation.
