If a make a #UserID hidden parameter in my SSRS report and set that server side in a ReportViewer control is that parameter then secure or could it be altered by the end user?
I am using SSRS 2017.
The user would be able to run the report by passing in the parameter value in a URL to open the report. I wouldn't think most users have the technical skills to do so, but it is possible.
Here's a link to show you how they would have to create the URL.

Here's the Microsoft documentation:

In SSRS, we have parameters and also DataSets in Report Data. I want to know whether or which parameters are hidden or not ( hide if it is any database key field ).
There are a few ways to see parameter settings in SSRS.
You can view them on the SSRS site by clicking on the report
drop down and going to manage then parameters. This has a limited amount of information about the parameters but will show if they are hidden or not.
If you want more information on the parameters open the report in
visual studio. Expand parameters in the report data pane. You should
see a list of your parameters. Just right click on one and click
parameter properties. This will give you everything configured for
that parameter.
I have some dashboards with Reporting Services and SharePoint, some need parameters some of them do not need parameters. I want to create something standard(I've think in a standard report) that receives all the possible parameters of the dashboards.
My idea: In my report will exist a button with the name Suscribe, this button displays a report or form that will receive all the important parameters directly from the report that called it, in this new report or form the user will choose the periodicity, write his mail and/or a CC.
I've seen some examples, but this examples need to create a subscription before hand, and I have more than 100 reports and differents users can create differents subscriptions.

I appreciate your help.
If you are using Sql Server Enterprise Edition then you have support for data driven subscriptions in which case you can define sp's or a query that returns email addresses for the given report. If you are not using EE the data driven subscriptions are not supported:(
I am using ssrs rdl reports in my asp.net web application. I want to hide/show a rdl parameter from C# code based on condition.
for example, if user is admin, he can see customer selection filter, or else if he login as a normal user, he can not see that filter
ReportParameter has Visible property. Set it to false to hide it from user interface.
I have report set up at reporting server. And from mvc.net through javascript. I am opening report using the code below:
function ShowSnapShot() {
window.open("http://ServerName/ReportingServerName/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fFolderName%2fSubFolderName%2fReportName&rs:Command=Render&Parameter=003532");
}
Whenever I open the report it asks for credentials. How could I pass Credentials with the url or is there any way I could open the report without using Report Viewer?
Ensure the user who is opening this report has Browse permissions to the report/folder on the report server.
Additionally, check the credentials on the Data Source used by the report. You may need to select Credentials stored securely in the report server.
I am not able to create subscriptions for SSRS reports as it gives the following error:
Subscriptions cannot be created because the credentials used to run
the report are not stored, or if a linked report, the link is no
longer valid.
My set up is as following:
ServerA - Database Server
ServerB - Report Server
MachineC - Internet explorer to view the reports
So I am viewing reports on Machine C, IE, and ServerB connects to ServerA for Datasource.
The problem sounds like the report expects the user to provide credentials when it is viewed. When you create a subscription, it does not have the credentials to execute the report.
Go to the report, click the properties tab, then choose Data Sources in the left pane.
Are you using a shared data source? Is it using Windows integrated security? If so, can you change it to use a service account made just to run these reports? You may need to view these properties by viewing the data source itself.
If it is a custom data source is the option "Credentials supplied by the user running the report" selected? If so, can you change it to "Credentials stored securely in the report server"?
Either way, if you want to set up a subscription, I have made it work by providing credentials in the data source rather than have the user input them.
If you are worried about security, I would suggest managing that on the report level rather than the data source level.
What the error does not make clear is, in order to be able to subscribe to a report not only must the data source be set to "Credentials stored securely in the report server" you must also not select the option "Impersonate the authenticated user after a connection has been made to the data source".
The way I did was to create a new data source in the report builder and explicitly provided the username and password there to be used.
Then, used that username password with the new data source with the report and voila it worked.
I faced same issue as you, and i found its solution, as #richard said already that it is related to credential of data source you use for your deployed report.
To resolve it Follow these steps:
1. Right click on your shared Data source which you use in your deployed report.
2. Click On Edit Button.
3. a new window will open click on Credential from left pane, Select Use this user name and password then click ok.
4. Check on Save these credential option you get on to previous screen.
5. Test connection and if succeed click ok and deploy your project on report server.
