Please help this beginner here…

I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 running on Windows Server 2008 R2.

I have Visual Studio installed on my PC.

I created my first report and tried to deploy it. It wouldn’t deploy and give me a permission error saying that my (domain) account doesn’t have permission to do that. So I took the quidk and dirty way out, and made – temporarily – my account an admin in the Windows 2008 Server machine. That worked, and I was able to deploy the report.

Then I sent the URL link to my boss… but now she couldn’t run it because of permissions. So I can’t follow the same quick and dirty solution and make all users admins in that machine…

So the question is, where and to what should I set the permissions?
Also, I can’t find IIS in that server (I tried running inetmgr from the command prompt). Is it possible that it’s not running or installed and still the report runs from a browser for me? I can’t find the familiar “Add/Remove Windows Components”.

Thanks.

    You should create a service account and run all of the reports via this account. This can be configured in the Report Configuration tools. Additionally you should add your boss as a Content Viewer/Report Viewer role in the SSRS security section. You can get to this section by navigating to the URL specified when you configured SSRS, usually http://localhost/ReportServer
