Helpdesk Report Group Users - Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSource1'

Question

Getting the following error for a User accessing the report who is a member of the reporting group. If I add them as a sysadmin in SQL they can get access. What permissions need changing for this user group?
Cannot create a connection to data source 'DataSource1'. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user

Dave,
For a complete understanding of the permission and groups, I would rather suggest you to do the installation of the MBAM components in a single server infrastructure in a test environment.
Create the following domain security groups and use it during the configuration of the MBAM roles:-
1) MBAM Advanced Helpdesk Users
2) MBAM Helpdesk Users
3) MBAM Report Users
4) MBAM Read and Write Access
5) MBAM Read Only Access.
Create an application pool account and create a login in SQL for it. Use it only during:-
1) Configuration of "Compliance and Audit Database connection"
2) Configuration for All Web Applications.
If your application pool account is not a domain administrator, the run the following powershell command to set the service principal name :-
Setspn
-s http//<FQDN of MBAM Web Server> domain\<Application pool account>
Make sure the application pool account must be trusted for delegation.
That's all you need to do. Then after the installation you can check the properties of each group in SQL to verify the rights and permission assigned during the installation.
