Could not load folder contents - SSRS Report Manager

Question

What I want to do is log into report server manager. I have added the user to a job role in SSMS and have equally assigned the user to a specific role in Report Manager (2016). Through a secure host, I can log in with the built-in account but I am unable to log in using the created user account. The error returned is:

  Could not load folder contents
  You are not allowed to view this folder. Contact your administrator to obtain the necessary permissions.

How do I resolve this issue?

I had this same issue and had to adjust the permissions on SSRS at the "home" root folder on 2016

Answer 3

If you get the error message:

You are not allowed to view this folder. Contact your administrator to obtain the necessary permissions.

Make sure that the current account or Active Directory group is a member of the Local Administrator Group on the SSRS Server

Login to the SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Service ) Server.

Open Server Manager > Tools > Computer Management.

Answer 4

I had the same problem. The solution is: 1- Browse the Report Manager URL 2- Top right of the page/ Manage folder/ Add group or user 3- An important point is that in Group or user, you have to insert the name which has been added before in SQL Server Report. You cannot insert your favorable name. It is the point that took me time a lot. 4- After inserting the name, choose the Browser role for that particular name. 5- Go to Home/ Your Project/ Right click/ Manage, then Security, go to Add group or user 6- Do the same as before for this step. 7- Your problem will be solved
