I spent a couple of hours this morning trying to figure out the permission with one of our SSRS 2008 R2 servers. Here is how the problem started, and the steps I took to fix the issue. When I RDP to the server, I can open the Reporting Services “Site Settings” and view the reports that I have published. However, when I am on my local computer, there was a permission issue which said the following:
“does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed”
I was wondering what the problem was because I was already added to the “System Administrator” role in the site setting. That did not resolve the problem. After looking at the permission in the ReportServer Database, I added myself to RSExecRole. That still did not fix the problem. Finally it came down to Adding myself to the root level Folder Permission.
