My domain account is administrator at this server, which runs sql 2008r2 and reporting service. when i navigate to "http://localhost/reports" , i can see the web ui. Anyway, i click to site settings, than navigate to Security tab. At this window i go to New Role Assignment. My problem is at this section. The only roles i see here are System Administrator and System User.
I googled about it, the screenshots i saw all had report server roles like browser,Publisher,Report builder.
Anyhow, is this about the installation process, or could it be about my domain account's permissions, or something other?
Thanks in advance
Edit
When i connect to report server using sql server management studio, in security tab i can see both roles and system roles folders.
Roles in Report Manager are contextual. What you see in site settings are System Roles, they control access to global features (content independent). Browser, Publisher etc - those are Item roles and they are assigned in context of report catalog items (folders, reports, etc) See docs for more http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156034(v=sql.105).aspx
To summarize, use SSMS is to create or update role definition, or Report Manager to assign roles to users/items

I have installed SQL Server 2016 and have successfully published a report and now I want to create a subscription for the report. However, there is no subscription tab within the Web Portal, and there is not a Subscribe option on the drop down menu of the report.
I have made myself an admin and have ran the browser in admin mode. Is there a setting I'm missing to make subscriptions available?
Thanks
You must have access to the report. Before you can subscribe to a report, you must have permission to view it.
For Native mode report servers, the following role assignments affect subscriptions:
The "Manage individual subscriptions" task allows users to create, modify, and delete subscriptions for a specific report. In the predefined roles, this task is part of Browser and Report Builder roles. Role assignments that include this task allow a user to manage only those subscriptions that he or she creates.
The "Manage all subscriptions" task allows users to access and modify all subscriptions. This task is required to create data-driven subscriptions. In predefined roles, only the Content Manager role includes this task.
I have a problem with SSRS 2014. I am trying to browse to a data source on my server see pic0. I then get the error in pic1. I cannot browse to it in IE either pic2. Pic3 is from the site settings page of the SSRS and the 3rd user is me with the roles of System Admin, System User.
Could anyone tell me the setting I am missing to grant me access to this?
Thanks
Take a look at the pre-defined security roles for SSRS 2014. The permission you need to work through report builder is the "Report Builder" role. You should probably also get the publisher role so you can manage deployments and such.
I am trying to get security on Reporting services set up. I have installed reporting services with all the defaults and I was able to create and publish a report. Using the link [http://server/reports] I was able to view that report. Bearing in mind that i am in the domain administrators group.
I then asked a non domain admin user to review the report but they got the message: • The permissions granted to user 'DOMAIN_ABC\username' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
It then dawned on me that I would need to set up security by assigning the 'Browser' role to DOMAIN_ABC\Domain Users.
At that point I realized that I had no way of interfacing with the security side of things as none of the Home, My Subscriptions, Site Settings tabs were displaying (as is the case with a 2005 RS deployment we have). Thus began my search for how to get the 'admin' view into the environment to enable security and access. I have thus far been unsuccessful so far, I have tried running IE as the 'Administrator', added the server to my 'Trusted' sites list. Checked the RS config file, set the Service Account to 'Local Service' but still no joy. Does anyone know what I may try?
Thanks in Advance,

You can not view the admin settings unless u got that permission.
Only Report manager administrator can create roles and users from report manager url [http://localhost/Reports/] then go to site settings ----> security,----> new role assignment.
If the user in system Administration group then only he can view the site settings option in the home page, If the user is on other group like content manager /System user then he can not view the site settings option.
You need to first add the user in the System Administrator group.then he can view all these settings.
Hope this helps...
I have a SQL 2008r2 report server where, despite having the appropriate ROLE permissions assigned within the RS, you can not view a report/folders Properties, unless you are also a member of the administrator group on the server. You can view the report itself, but not the Properites tab. When viewing the Properties tab, an rsAccessDenied error is shown with the message "The permissions granted to user 'XXX\XXX' are insufficient for performing this operation."
My understanding is that just being a member of the Browser role should be sufficient to view a reports properties, and the account actually is member of all roles (Content Manager, Publisher, Broweser, etc), so that isn't the issue, so why would you also need to be a member of the administrator group on the server?
Given that everything is being done from a browser on a remote computer, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what the Properties tab is doing that requires the extra permissions.
Anyone know what's going on and what needs to be changed so that the user doens't need any permissions on the server itself?
I had a similar problem where I didn't have access to the Properties-tab or the Data Sources-tab but adding my user to Administrators did not solve the issue. However all my role assignments were on a subfolder and when I was added to root/home with role "Browser" it suddenly started working. Even without me being an admin on the RS Server.
According to Microsoft documentation, you need higher privileges to achieve that :
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157363(v=sql.105)
Browser role only enables you to navigate through folder structure and view/subscribe to reports. You need the "Content Manager Role" to achieve what you want.
We have several Collections in our TFS 2010 server.
This server hosts all of our TFS related services.
I'd like to allow a specific programmer to create Team Projects within his dedicated collection.
He belongs to the collection's TFS administrators group.
When he tries to create a new Team Project, it fails with a Reporting permissions error.
I understand that he also needs Reporting services permissions to create the relevant Reporting objects for the new Team Project, but I don't want him to be a full admin for the whole server's Reporting Services.
Is there a way to allow him the full ability to create new Team Projects without making a full Reporting Services admin?

To grant administrative permissions for a team project collection in Reporting Services
Start Internet Explorer.
In the Address bar, type the following URL, where ReportServer is the name of the server that is running Reporting Services: http://ReportServer/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
Click the Properties tab, and then click New Role Assignment.
In Group or User Name, type the name of the account for the user or group to whom you want grant administrative permissions.
In Role, click Team Foundation Content Manager, and then click OK.
The one thing missing in the manual, is that you need to do this for /TfsReports/[collectionname] while setting stop security inheratence.
