I am setting up a SQL Server reporting server on my local machine. The setup works just fine, but whenever I go to the reports starting page my standard user does not have any admin rights and therefore I can do basically nothing:
Does anybody have an idea what the reason for that is?
Best regards,
Michael
You will need to login to the webportal using an account that belongs to the local administrators group on your local machine, or the account that installed SSRS as that account, by default, would have been added to the admin group.
Once you have logged in you should be able to add users via the Site Settings menu in the webportal

I am using SSRS 2019 hosted on a local server to deliver reporting functionality. I am struggling to grant user access using a guest account.
I have created a guest account on the server pc and added the user \Guest as a system user in both the home folder and site settings of the SSRS directory. The guest user can log in to the directory and see reports, but when the user tries to access the report they are prompted for login details again. The database login details are a generic username and password.
This is where the user gets stuck; they keep getting prompted for their username and password. When they enter them correctly, the security prompt just opens again. The report is set to inherit permissions from the parent folder, and the user appears on the report security tab with browser permissions.
I have tried adding the SSRS directory as a trusted site on the server, but am still running into this issue. Is it something simple that I have overlooked?
Adding the server pc to the domain network solved my issue.

I'm trying to recover an old SSRS 2005 installation. The report server itself has been recovered from a backed up image and is working fine except for a missing datasource. When I log into the Report Manager (http://localhost/reports) I do not see the extra tabs as shown here (I only see General) so I cannot replace the missing datasource. What I have tried:
I am a member of the AD group builtin/administrators, and can see Site Settings and can configure site-wide security
I am an admin on the local machine
I have accessed Report Manager with IE in admin mode and specified that localhost is in IE's trusted sites
Applied default settings to the Virtual Directory as suggested here
I believe that local administrators are always granted admin access to an SSRS installation so am pretty confused. Could this be something to do with the server having been recovered from an image? Or are there permissions I may have lost for some reason? Any suggestions gratefully received.
To fix this I needed to disable anonymous access to the Reports websites "Reports" and "ReportServer" by going to IIS => Web Sites => Default Website => Properties => Directory Security => Authentication and access control => uncheck "Enable anonymous access".
I did a few other things in addition to the above but I think the anonymous access was the key:
Identified the admin login via its distinctive SID
Logged in as this admin
Enabled the disabled "Administrator" account (which on my machine neither had the admin roles, nor was the original admin account) and gave it admin permissions
Been trying to get SSRS reporting service set up for a while now, and been stuck on the issue with UAC.
After setting up the Reporting Service Configuration Manager settings, with service account using my PC's login account, Database using ReportServer$SQLEXPRESS, etc. when launching the server # 127.0.0.1/Reports it directs me to 127.0.0.1/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx and then after login with my PC's login this is what I get on my browser -
"User 'OCTETHP\Support' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed."
And I have done my researches online, I turned off UAC, I am on the administrator account, and I also tried to run the browser with right click to run as administrator option on both chrome and IE. Still does not solve this problem. Could anyone help me out with this??
I am currently running on windows 8.1. Thanks so much!
It is likely the problem is with the account the reporting server is running under (OCTETHP\Support). You may need to add this user to the web user group (IIS_WPG depending on your OS version). If that doesn't work, you can set the user to be a local administrator and work the permissions back from there.
If you want to run the reporting services from another account you'd want to follow these steps:
Open IIS Manager
Under websites locate the SSRS website (/Reports in your case)
In basic properties check the App Pool the site is running under
Go to the App Pools section of IIS and open the advanced properties
Setup the user that the App Pool runs under
You'll need to make sure the user is assigned to the web user group, and has permissions to access the folder that the website points to.
I deployed reports on test server.i am using ssrs 2008 r2.
testers and developers are on same domain called 'ASDF' and testreport server is on 'HIJL' domain.
when I try to access ' htt://testservername/reports ' from my dev or test machine it is asking for credentials
If i put my windows login ,this isn't accepted.but if i enter HIJL\admin and password it accepts and showing reports.
I try to give permissions for 'ASDF' users but i am getting 'rsUnknownUserName' message.
how can i stop report manager asking the credential while opening it?
thanks
You configure a windows user account and give that account authorization to specific resources.
Create a standard windows user on the SSRS server.
Open SSRS and select "site settings".
Select the "Security Tab"
4. Give the windows account specified in step 1 access by tying in the account name and selecting the roles to grant.
5. Navigate to the SSRS home screen and select the "Folder Settings" tab.
6. Select the "New Role Assignment Tab" on the security page of "Folder Settings" and add the user(s) you specified in step 4. NOTE: This will give ReportUser access to all reports deployed.
This should give you easy access to deploy and access reports in a test environment.
Can a trust be set up between the domains so that the ASDF users may be authenticated on the HIJL domain?
If not, like lrb said, your options then become anonymous access, or a custom security implementation.
I am having an interesting issue with SSRS and security settings. I have 2008 R2 installed on a Windows Server 2008 box. All users log into their workstations using their active directory credentials, some are local admins, some are just standard users. I have no problem accessing either the management or directory site as DOMAIN\administrator.
I have all reports, folders and data sources set to inherit the security settings on the server, but when I go to a users machine and type in the server address (host/reportserver), I get rsAccess Denied DOMAIN\USER user has insufficient permissions.
I have tried a number of different things based on posts I've read.
Added NT Authority\Authenticated Users and NT Authority\Network
Service to security permissions
Gave users 'Administrator' level access on the report server
Disabled UAC on the workstation
I read that launching IE as administrator might solve the issue. That would require all users to be local admins, no? I think that is an unacceptable solution.
As always, I appreciate assistance anyone can offer.
1) Add the username(domain\username) to the folder settings(New role assignment-->browser)
of the report manager. This will give access to all the folders on the report manager.
for example if your username is (domain\rocky) then add this domain\rocky to the report manager.
2) make sure the username(domain\rocky) exists in the windows active directory.
3) For safety reasons : Don't provide administrator privileges to users.
