Question

When attempting to deploy a SSRS 2008 R2 Report to my localhost/ReportServer, or trying to login to localhost/reportserver (via web browser), I am not able to get any further than a security error message.

When trying to access the report server via a web browser, I’m prompted to enter my login credentials. Even though I am the admin on the box, I still receive the following message:

User ‘PCName\Me’ does not have
required permissions. Verify that
sufficient permissions have been
granted and Windows User Account
Control (UAC) restrictions have been
addressed.

I have also tried launching my browser in Administrator Mode – same issue.

When attempting to deploy a report from VS, I get a similar message:

The permissions granted to user
‘PCName\Me’ are insufficient for
performing this operation.

Some assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Mark, thanks for the suggestion. I found the answer here where I had to change the report server’s authentication type to local.

<Authentication>
      <AuthenticationTypes>
             <RSWindowsBasic>
                   <LogonMethod>3</LogonMethod>
                   <Realm></Realm>
                   <DefaultDomain></DefaultDomain>
             </RSWindowsBasic>
      </AuthenticationTypes>
      <EnableAuthPersistence>true</EnableAuthPersistence>
</Authentication>

This satisfies my testing needs, but not secure prod environment needs.
