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 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.
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'm using BIDS (Visual Studio 2008) to create and deploy SSRS reports to a report server, on a third-party hosted server.
The username and password that it uses to deploy reports onto the report server seems to be saved somehow, and I don't seem to be able to change it. Is there a way of changing this account? I'm getting a rsAccessDenied as expected. Previously it has asked for a username and password. To confirm, I'm getting this in the Error List pane:
The permissions granted to user 'SERVERNAME\ssrs' are
insufficient for performing this operation.
I can't start the software using these credentials as they only exist on the server. I can't change the permissions of this "fixed" account either as it's used by staff for read-only viewing of the reports. I already have an account for writing to the server that I would use if this software would let me.
I've looked at every setting I could find and I've tried creating a new solution, copying the report I need to deploy to this solution, but it still doesn't ask me for credentials.
The credentials were saved in Windows Control Panel -> Credential Manager (I'm on Windows 7). Just edit or delete the "Windows Credentials" for the server. For me, these credentials were, I think, saved by Internet Explorer rather than BIDS, but BIDS is happy to use them anyway.
After a fresh install of SQL Server 2012 Developer on my Windows 7 machine, I configure SSRS. Then, in IE (version 11), I try to access the SSRS server at http://(servername)/Reports. Windows asks for my username and password. Odd, because I'm an administrator. So I enter my username and password and I get this reply:
User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
Researching the issue, I come across a number of answers, including:
Reporting Services permissions on SQL Server R2 SSRS
SSRS 2008: User Does Not Have Required Permissions
The answers to these questions are similar:
Run IE as an administrator
Add the SSRS URL to Trusted Sites in Security tab of Internet Options
Retry SSRS URL
On success, add your user to Site Settings and Folder Settings with the appropriate permissions.
You should then be able to access SSRS without running IE as administrator
Additional workarounds include disabling UAC and repeating the steps above.
Running IE as an administrator did not work. At step 3. I got the same response as above and was never able to get to the SSRS home page.
Before disabling UAC, are there any other workarounds?
The workaround I found is from Peter O’Gorman's blog entry.
The steps above are the same, except add the URL to Local Intranet, not Trusted Sites:
Run IE as an administrator
Add the SSRS URL to Local Intranet in Security tab of Internet Options
Retry SSRS URL
On success, add your user to Site Settings and Folder Settings with the appropriate permissions.
You should then be able to access SSRS without running IE as administrator
To my pleasant surprise, this worked like a charm. Thanks Peter!
Run IE as an administrator - not Chrome. I swear I tried this before with no joy.
I don't understand why not Chrome and why administrator. Maybe Chrome somehow dismisses the elevated permissions. How does the rsManager know at what level the browser is running anyway?

Same steps as Glenn mentioned previously. I also had to add user to role in two different spots once I was able to access SQL Server Reporting Services - Home. In Folder setting -> security -> new role assignment and site settings -> security -> new role assignment. I added my user as well.

This works for Reporting Services 2008 onwards
This one has been bugging me for a while, some users have access to the report server others get this error message. While trying to resolve it with a system administrator I came across this post from microsoft support
For users to navigate to a particular folder, they must have Browser role on
all folders starting at the root folder (the folder named "/" in the
item path or "Home" in Report Manager). So you will need to grant
those permissions explicitly. By default, permissions are inherited
from the parent folder. If there are any breaks in the inheritance,
you will need to set those permission explicitly.
What we did as a administrator users, was to navigate to Reports page, then folder settings and grant the user that does not have permissions Browser rights to the folder. Use could then navigate to the home page and work their way down the tree. the sys admin hadn't granted access to the user at the home level just on the folders and reports that have access to.
I installed SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 with advanced services on a Windows 8.1 environment. I selected the default configuration for the Reporting Service.
Everything seems to work, but when I try browse to the report manager I get the message
The permissions granted to user 'LocalMachine\User' are insufficient
for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
The laptop is not part of a domain and the logged on user is the local admin. Does anyone have an idea how to overcome this issue?
Thanks in advance!
The problem you're encountering is due to UAC (user access control). Even though you're setup as an adminstrator you're account is not being treated as such unless you run IE as an Administrator.
To save having to remember this step each time, and to enable other browsers to be used and Visual Studio to deploy reports you need to setup your login as an explicit user to SSRS Server. Follow the steps below and that should do the trick.
Steps recommend using IE - other browsers can work with the following steps but not guaranteed.
Open Internet Explorer as Administrator(Right click the IE exe and
choose “Run as Administrator”
Go to the “SQL Server Reporting Services” Home page (http://localhost:port/Reports) which will redirect to http://localhost:port/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
Click on the “Folder Settings” button.
Click on the “New Role Assignment” button.
Add the Group or user name: DOMAIN\USER_NAME or in this case LOCALMACHINE\USER_NAME. You'll probably want to pick Content Manager role so your account has full functionality.
Hopefully the above will do the trick.
