SQL Server 2008 R2: - reporting-services

I need to show some reports to my manager in 3 days time, but am not able to.
Every time I try to deploy reports in SSRS, I am unable to, as I am getting the following error:
the permission granted to the user /report is not sufficient for performing this operation
I have found several solutions online, however the steps mentioned are not helping me.
Please find the screen shot below, from after trying to resolve with many approaches.

This can only be fixed with permission sets. Your user probably doesn't have the publish permission. Once you get the publish permission you can create and put reports on the website.
Steps:
First:
You need to navigate to the Reporting Server and click on the arrow to the right
of the folder you need access to when you hover your mouse over it.
Second:
Click on security
Third:
At the top click on new role assignment
Fourth:
Enter you user name or group in the box labeled "Group or user name:" be sure to
include your domain with it as well
Fifth:
Check Publisher, Browser, Reader, and Report Builder
Sixth:
Click Ok
After this you should be set to make and publish reports.

SSRS Interface changed overnight

When I came in to work yesterday, I went to run my usual reports. I go to 192.168.1.43/Reports like usual and was greeted with this error.
First I noticed the IP address changed, easy enough. I go to 192.168.1.44/Reports. But I was greeted with the same error (since then I changed this server to a static IP). The only thing that works is if I go to 192.168.1.44/ReportServer. Then the interface looks like this. My subscriptions are still running but I can not get to them. I've been trying to figure this out for more than a full day at this point. Any help would be very much appreciated.
The view you can see in your screenshot is normal, this is the Web Service URL.
The bit that is not working is the Web Portal URL which, by default, is the same address but ending in /Reports as you have already tried.
This may not resolve the problem but the first thing to check is that the address is configured correctly.
Open "Reporting Services Configuration Manager", connect you your report server when prompted (just the server name or address is required)
Then check the "Web Portal URL" tab
(this is based on SQL Server 2016 so may be slightly different on your version)
If the address is incorrect, click "Advanced" to make changes

SSRS: This Page Could Not Be Found

I have walked into an already setup instance of SSRS and am trying to help troubleshoot an issue for a new user. When the user attempts to connect to the URL (i.e. http://myServerName/Reports), she gets a "This page could not be found" error in the browser. As of now, this only appears to be happening for this one user.
I am not quite sure if this error is occurring because of a Report Manager permissions issue, or because of a server permissions issue. Does anyone have any ideas on what security/permissions settings I can check on either side to see why this one user cannot access the site?

SSRS 2008: User Does Not Have Required Permissions

I have already researched the following existing SO questions and the links that they reference:
User '' does not have required permissions, SSRS 2008 on Windows 8
Reporting Services permissions on SQL Server R2 SSRS
SQL Server Reporting Service - Service Manager Error - User Does not have required permission
I've taken the steps already outlined by these suggested solutions, but even after all that and also logging out and back in, nothing has changed. In fact my user name was already listed as a System Administrator before I started any of this.
One of the solutions (http://thecodeattic.wordpress.com/category/ssrs/) also mentions a "Folder Settings" area where you can specify roles for a user - "Content Manager," "Publisher," "Browser," "Report Builder," and "My Reports" - but I don't see a way to navigate to this section anywhere.
Any ideas? Thanks!
SSRS has 2 security/role sections available in the web GUI: Folder Settings and Site Settings. The navigation path to get to each is kind of weird.
For Folder Settings, login to the report server (/Reports by default). In SSRS 2012, there's a button in the top toolbar called 'Folder Settings'. I believe the link is the same in 2008, but it's been a while since we migrated.
Adding user permissions here allows the named users to run reports. Here you should add your own user account, plus the account used to run reports. In my case (web app), this is my IIS Application Pool identity (IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool).
Site Settings controls who can login to the Report server and access more report metadata. You'll see the 2 roles are System Administrator and System User, so these are all really trusted users. Beyond giving yourself admin, you'll only need to grant permissions to user accounts that do "adminy things", like deploying reports. In my case I've got a local user account that my web application impersonates in order to deploy or delete reports. Users (ReportViewer) don't need this access.
I suspect all you're missing is the Folder Settings (e.g. "permission to run reports") settings, which are accessible from the first page when you login to the report server.
If you don't see that link, try the direct URL:
http://MYREPORTSERVER.COM/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ItemPath=%2f&SelectedTabId=PropertiesTab
(Tested on 2012 only)
It is important to run your browser (IE) "As Administrator".
Another important bit is to go to http://localhost/reports, not http://SERVERNAME/reports !
Than click that "Folder Settings" link. Than follow instructions in that postings above.
I ran into the same pickle myself with the SSRS 2014 user access settings.
In my situation I have a folder for each of the company's departments - which are a lot!!
After some digging (well, digging and actually giving/revoking myself the user rights) I realised that:
1) I have to add each user in the root HOME Folder Settings (just with "browser" role)
2) Doing this will grant that user access to every report in every folder!! What the hell's with that, MicroSoft?!?
3) I have to edit each of the folders for which that user SHOULDN'T have permissions and remove each of these users manually so that, that particular user(s) will eventually have rights just for the one folder(aka dept) they belong to.
Has someone found a better/faster way of achieving this w/o all the extra, huge, painfull, frustrating manual work of removing an user from all the other folders, except the only one that user should only have access in?
If I add an user just to that folder - w/o adding it in the the HOME folder security - then that user will get the same error message as in the OP's description.
And I think I remember, back in the days of SSRS 2005, a SSRS ReportManager admin user was able to edit/modify this so called profiles. I couldn't find that anywhere in SSRS 2014 Report Manager
One trick is to run internet explorer 11 in administrator mode.
Then you can add your windows user.
Also, accessing the URLs in an InPrivate IE tab will raise the permission error.
This worked for me to add my domain account to the local instance:
Create a local admin user within Computer Management
Download and Launch Edge-Chrome as an administrator (https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/)
Ensure you're browsing as a guest by clicking the profile pic to the right of the address bar
Launch the reports site e.g. http://yourpc/reports
Click on the cog in the top right of the web page, select "site settings"
Click "Security" on the left menu and add the user account to Administrator
Reboot for luck
This may work in another browser, but haven't tried it.
EDIT: You'll need to add the domain user to the default folders too.

Users can't save advanced finds (views) in CRM Dynamics 4

We've recently created a new deployment in our CRM Dynamics 4 environment.
In this new deployment users in roles other than System Admin can't save their own views. They can open Advanced Find and create a query, run it, and see the correct results. However, the 'save' and 'save as' buttons are greyed out.
The first deployment has no issues, and the permissions are almost identical.
According to MS docs, all users should be able to save their own personal views. There is nothing in the docs about permissions on views. Changing the 'Customization' -> View entry in the Security Role doesn't seem to make a difference.
Thanks,
Alex
I found the "Saved View" class under Core Records.

SSRS Authentication Issues on a fresh install

Once again the SSRS security wall has hit me.
I did a fresh SSRS 2008R2 install.
I created a separate account (ssrs) on my box to access SSRS-related services.
Upon navigating to localhost/reportserver, I was confronted with a windows authentication popup. I entered the ssrs username and pw and after some time was presented with the following error message:
The permissions granted to user 'mybox\ssrs' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
Navigating to localhost/reports/pages/folder.aspx renders the same SQL Server Reporting Services error.
I've setup reportserver.config as follows:
<Authentication>
<AuthenticationTypes>
<RSWindowsBasic>
<LogonMethod>3</LogonMethod>
<Realm></Realm>
<DefaultDomain></DefaultDomain>
</RSWindowsBasic>
</AuthenticationTypes>
<EnableAuthPersistence>true</EnableAuthPersistence>
</Authentication>
Ultimately, what I would like to do, is access the reports through my C# code, which I'm assuming I will use the authenticated user that I've setup on the box.
One post indicates to add the name or group to the ssrs group, which once done, doesn't work with SQLServerReportServerUser$MyBox$MSRS10_50.SQLSERVER2008R2.
Keep in mind, I am not yet able to even view any of the report services menus, as some people have had issues with. I'm at step 1, just trying to see the services.
I've even tried logging in with my admin account on this box - no go - still a permissions issue.
Some step-by-step guidance on this would be helpful.
Thank you.
After several different combinations of trying, the solution has presented itself.
To recap - this is auth issue was right when trying to access localhost/reports and localhost/reportserver - couldn't even get to the Reporting Services homepage.
I had tried setting Full Control permissions for my ssrs user and Everyone on C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.SQLSERVER2008R2\Reporting Services (and all subdirectories) which did NOT work.
Ultimately, I started IE in Administrator mode (right-click on IE, select Run as Administrator), and was able to navigate to localhost/reports which goes to http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx.
Select Folder Settings / New Role Assignment. The New Role Assignment page will allow you to setup specific users you have setup on the box.
In my case, for now and just testing, I just have one user to access all SSRS-related items.
Incidentally, I am accessing /reports through a different browser, so the fact that I'm in IE as Admin, doesn't affect the other separate vendor instance.
