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 also have the same problem as an admin on a domain
I just installed SSRS locally on a machine for and I cannot access the reports I deployed. Everything was installed as admin
when going to the web portal I get this massage
Could not load folder contents
You are not allowed to view this folder. Contact your administrator to obtain the necessary permissions.
and when trying to access the web service via the config manager I get this one:
The permissions granted to user <username> are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
Additionally in the web portal I got no "manage" folder and only "my subscriptions" under the settings button .
Everything is running locally and as admin, the OS is windows 11 and the SSRS is version 15.0.1102.1002 and running in native mode.
I've looked all over the place and found out something about certificates, but almost everything in google is about access problems via remote server.
adding the URL to the trusted sites didn't help
it certainly look like you don't have permission. Are you administrator? When you were installing did you set up some users to be administrators?
Find which account is administrator and then add yourself from the SSRS site. Is there another account you can run or Run as administrator?
Another way to install again.
If you decide to install again pay attention on the page with the users.
Recently changed the windows password of the machine ,where the ssrs installed.All the services are running on the built-in account.
when trying to access the report server using the web-browser,it shows an error user does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed
Quick Fix:
Right click the browser and Run as Administrator.
Then browse to the Report Url.
(Assuming You got that error because of UAC restriction).
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.
On a test server, we have a data source using "Credentials stored securely in the report server" and "Use as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source". The account is a domain account. If I enter the password and click "Test Connection" I get "Connection created successfully" but the password box empties and when I click "Apply", the password isn't saved.
I have all rights on the folder and am set up as a Systems Administrator role in Site Settings.
Our other test servers are set up the same way and I don't have a problem with them. A coworker with the same rights as me has no problem with this server. All of them have the data sources set up to use the same domain account. So the problem is only it is me working with this one server. It worked fine for the last year and just stopped working this week. So something must have changed, but I can't figure out what.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark
If you move a report (copy/paste) the report credentials have to be re-entered. This data is not saved in the definition itself.
I am having some issues setting up Reporting Server. I can open http://localhost/reports only when I run Internet Explorer as administrator. When I try to open it from another server, logging in with the same user as the service account, I get prompted for credentials before it proceeds. What settings do I need to check\change to allow me to open the reports home page without having to open IE as administrator locally or having to enter my username and password from a remote connection? Here is the error I am receiving if I open IE not as admin.
User 'DOMAIN\USER' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
Connect to SSRS Report Manager (/reports) as admin, then check what you see when you click on the Folder Settings. This should give you the security settings for the root folder. Make sure that your account is included here, whether by AD group or individually. Content Manager is the most permissive setting.
In addition to checking the Home folder security settings as #Jamie-F pointed out, check the "Site Settings", "Security" as well and make sure the user or group is there.
