Hi SBolton,
We have groups as well as individuals like:-
RCA\P - DISP_BW Report -------->>> AD group
RCA\kg1 ----------->>> individual
We normally add as:-
Domain-Name/Individual-Name( OR Active Directory group-name )
Everything works for us perfectly.
Are you adding Domain-Name as prefix of group-name?
Please let us know your feedback.
Thanks

Yes I can add individual users such as
rbi/sbolton
rbi/jsmith
I can also add AD groups
rbi/accounting
rbi/Exectuive
I can not add an AD group name with spaces
rbi/Managers and Supervisors
My goal is to add all the managers and supervisors so i do not have to go in and individual add
each one, It seems that the problem is with the spaces in the AD group name

Hi,
Are you adding like this,
rbi\managers and supervisors
If yes than their might be something wrong with the AD group, please double check.
Thanks

Hi SBolton,
From my testing, the group name can contain spaces. Please ensure that the group or user name must be a valid Windows domain account(Please note the number of spaces), and enter the account in this format:<domain>\account.
Personally, you can try to create other windows group such as “Test and Test”. And then, use “New role assignment” page of the Report Manager to assign permissions for the new group.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
