Authentication

hey all

Not sure if I have this in the right forum - please direct me otherwise people.

This is my set-up

Windows Server 2003 (NZDEV)

Virtual Server (nzvmw1) - Visual Studio 2005

Sql Server Express Edition with Advanced Services

Tools = Reporting Services

on my computer - I have deployed a report up to the nzvmw1 server

using url nzvmw1/reports - I can see everything

my user nzdev/user (admin rights)

I have two other users - they are users on nzdev (not with admin rights)

if they use url nzvmw1/reports - the password screen comes up

nzdev/***** and password I set for them - page comes up but no folders

I don't know where else to give them permissions (and don't think I should be making everyone Admins)

can someone advise.

thanks

Jewel

Did you assign to your users report rights ? You can do it in "Home\Site settings\Configure site-wide security" (you must have admin rights to do that). In there you can assign system roles to <domain name>\<user name> or <group name>. To System roles you assign allowed report actions in "Home\Site settings\Configure System-level role definitions". You can also assign rights to every report item on your report server.

thanks heaps for the reply

On reading a little more

it seems I cannot see the pre-defined folders? to assign the roles

eg if I go to http://localhost/reports$SQLEXPRESS = HTTP error 404

which is the add most doco says to go to - to see Home folders

This has been a very messy install.

Can it be something not turned on?

thanks

ok just an update here

if I go to servername/reports - I can now assign either an admin or a user role - but I don't have the window that shows Brose, content Manager etc to actually assing further?

thanks
