Hello.  
I’m trying to config my SMTP datasink.  
I have this in datalink.cf file:

 Default Email Datasink 

But as an admin I cant see anything under datasinks page to set it up with this parameters (taken from the documentation):

Host: [mail.yourmailserver.com](http://mail.yourmailserver.com)  
Port: 25  
Username: [rs@yourmailserver.com](mailto:rs@yourmailserver.com)  
Password: passwordsecret  
SSL: false  
TLS enable: false  
TLS require: false

Where do I set it up? And how?  
Thanks!

Hi Eduardo  
I see nothing under the datasink page, and I added a photo of the datasink file - probably something is missing there.

Hi nitsan,

your user probably don’t have permissions on the datasinks root. Pls try to log in with “root”, which is a super user and sees all. Then give permissions to your user to see “datasinks root”: [https://reportserver.net/en/guides/admin/chapters/User-and-Permission-Management.php](https://reportserver.net/en/guides/admin/chapters/User-and-Permission-Management.php)
