After a fresh install of SQL Server 2012 Developer on my Windows 7 machine, I configure SSRS. Then, in IE (version 11), I try to access the SSRS server at http://(servername)/Reports
. Windows asks for my username and password. Odd, because I'm an administrator. So I enter my username and password and I get this reply:
User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
Researching the issue, I come across a number of answers, including:
Reporting Services permissions on SQL Server R2 SSRS
SSRS 2008: User Does Not Have Required Permissions
The answers to these questions are similar:
Additional workarounds include disabling UAC and repeating the steps above.
Running IE as an administrator did not work. At step 3. I got the same response as above and was never able to get to the SSRS home page.
Before disabling UAC, are there any other workarounds?
Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed. Actually, this issue usually occurs if the current user doesn't have a sufficient permission to access Report Manager URL in SSRS.
In SSRS, go to Site Settings, and create a new role assignment so that you can assign the desired Active Directory group to the “System user” role in SSRS. By default, all authenticated users are assigned to the System User role. In SSRS, go to the Home folder, and then click Folder settings.
Denying Access to My Reports You can prevent users from accessing My Reports by: Disabling My Reports on the Site Settings page. For more information, see Enable and Disable My Reports.
The workaround I found is from Peter O’Gorman's blog entry.
The steps above are the same, except add the URL to Local Intranet, not Trusted Sites:
To my pleasant surprise, this worked like a charm. Thanks Peter!
