Reporting Server Home Page Only displays When Run as Administrator - reporting-services

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.

SSRS Guest User Permissions

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.

SSRS Error can not access the Report manager

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).

User '%' does not have required permissions, SSRS 2012 on Windows 7

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.

SSRS reporting service UAC error, already tried everything

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.

No permission localhost/reports error for DOMAIN\USERNAME

I've been searching for this problem all day. For some reason I get the error:
User 'DOMAIN\USERNAME' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
when I want to go to localhost/reports with my normal user account (it is administrator).
I tried all different ways posted on the internet and it still doesn't work.
As a last resort I tried to create a new user account on my pc with admin rights. And voila, it works. I run IE as administrator and I can connect to localhost/reports.
Now, why in the world cant I connect to the report server on my main account? Obviously it is an admin and I run IE as administrator.
I realy hope any of you can help me.
Greetings
PS: also, when I try to go to localhost/reportserver i get the error:
The permissions granted to user 'DOMAIN\USERNAME' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)
Finaly found a link that did it for me:

When SSRS stands itself up, it only adds the Builtin/Administrator to have access to the report manager. Run IE as Administrator and navigate to the report manager page. Then in Site Settings click on Security and add your normal user account as an administrator. That should do the trick.
