SSRS 2008 R2 Subscription Include Link rights

Hi All,
Let's say I set a subscription report including only the link to the report. Sometimes these emails or only the links from these emails are forwarded, and I want to make sure that only those who I granted access can view the report. So my question is whether a person can view the report clicking on the link
- if they do not have any right neither on the report nor on the data source? (E.g. some bad guy 'steals' the link)
- if they do not have any right on the report but have right on the data source (because it is a shared DS used in other report they have right on)?
Many thanks.P.

Hi Petso,
The answer for your two question is "no"! To access a report through the link, he needs role-based permission to access the Report Server first, and then have
SQL Server Reporting Services uses role-based authorization and an authentication subsystem to determine who can perform operations and access items on a report server. Reporting Services includes predefined roles that you can assign to users and groups to provide immediate access to a report server. Content Manager, Publisher, and Browser are examples of predefined roles.
Reporting Services also uses role-based security to control access to items(such as a Report) that are stored on a report server.
