Allow custom non-admin roles to create Data Source in JasperReports Server

To allow non-admin users create or edit Data Sources you have to add user's role to the corresponding flow. The steps are:

1. Open WEB-INF/applicationContext-security.xml file

2. Find the following line:

addDataSourceFlow=ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR

3. Add your custom role:

addDataSourceFlow=ROLE_CREATE_DATASOURCE,ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR

If your role is defined on an organization level and not on the root level of JRS application, you will likely have to add the pipe symbol '|' at the end of the role and add the organization ID after it, e.g.:

addDataSourceFlow=ROLE_EDIT_DATASOURCES|myOrganization,ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR

4. Save the changes, clear application server cache and restart it. Also clear browser cache to make sure the changes get applied.
