Context

Cause

Reports using default Datasource doesn't allow creation of Subscriptions

Resolution

SSRS subscriptions run un-attended on the Server, so the Datasource of the report should have credentials of a generic reporting account stored. If one such account does not exist, please see the following article to first create a generic account:
