Hi all,
I'm a newbie to Reporting Services so please forgive my ignorance...
I've recently installed SQL Server Express 2005 with Reporting Services on
my Vista Business Notebook (with no network connections) and have installed
VS C# Express as well as the Business Intelligence Studio to create reports.
My C# application can connect to SQL Server fine, however, the reports I
created with Business Studio refuses to deploy to the server due to the
following reason:
"The permissions granted to user 'localhost\Jenny' are insufficient for
performing this operation".
I find this odd as I've been able to deploy reports on my other Windows XP
machine (with SQL Server Express) no probs at all. Additionally, I cannot
see the 'Site settings' link within Report Manager (Web) that I'd normally
get with an admin account (i.e. on my Win. XP machine). Various sources
indicate that my account has insufficient access rights to view this.
Having browsed through seemingly endless blogs and forums, I suspect that my
local account has not been configured to access the Report Manager web client
to publish, manage and administer the site.
I have tried the surface area tool for SQL Server, but I suspect that this
is relevant only to SQL Server DB access and management. Adding an
administrator here does nothing.
The question is, how can I grant access to myself (local account) to allow
me to publish reports via business studio, and at the same time - administer
Report Manager Site Settings - on my vista notebook??
I would be extremely grateful for any help on this matter - I've tried
ceaseless reinstallations, but to no avail!
Many thanks in advance,
Jenny
