SQL Reporting Services 2005 not Showing Contents or Properties - sql

I installed and configured SQL Server 2005 with Reporting Services, Workgroup Edition on Windows 7. I have updated to Service Pack 4. The problem is that when I navigate to http://localhost/reports/Pages/Folder.aspx, Reporting Services don't show/display Contents or Properties menus, all I see is the SQL Server Reporting Services header with the Home/Help button.
EDIT: I figured it out. You need to create role assignments that explicitly grant you access together with full permissions. To do this, follow these steps:
Start Internet Explorer together with the Run as administrator option. To do this, click Start, click All Programs, right-click Internet Explorer, and then click Run as administrator.
Open Report Manager. By default, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports.
If you use SQL Server Express with Advanced Services SP2, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports$sqlexpress. If you use a named instance of Reporting Services, the Report Manager URL is http://ServerName/reports$InstanceName
In the Home dialog box, click Properties.
Click New Role Assignment.
Type a Windows user account name by using the following format:
Domain\User
Click to select the Content Manager check box.
Click OK.
In the Home dialog box, click Site Settings.
Click Configure site-wide security.
Click New Role Assignment.
Type a Windows user account by using the following format:
Domain\User
Click System Administrator.
Click OK.
Close Report Manager.

Installing Teamcity build agent as a user: failed to install the service. selected account does not have enough rights

I want to install a TeamCity BuildAgend as a user. When entering my user credentials here:
I always get this error:
NOTE: My account (user) is Administrator with full permission!
How can I do this?
The error message says it does not have "enough rights to run as a service",
this is slightly different from just being an administrator.
Go to Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Local Security Policy.
Select Local Policies> User Rights Assignment.
Scroll down through the list of policies and look for Log on as a service.
Add the account you're using to the list of accounts with this right.
That should in theory be all you need to allow the service to run under that user.
The best powershell command that I have found for this is:
Grant-Privilege -Identity $SERVICE_USERNAME -Privilege SeServiceLogonRight
Requires use of the Carbon framework.
I'm a Windows 10 Home user and the steps above did not work for me, but the following did:
Enable gpedit.msc by running the batch file as explained here under Method 1: https://www.askvg.com/how-to-enable-group-policy-editor-gpedit-msc-in-windows-7-home-premium-home-basic-and-starter-editions/
Run gpedit.msc
Go to Local Computer Policy / Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Local Policies / User Rights Assignment
Double-click Log on as a service
On the window that appears, click Add User or Group...
Enter your username and click the Check Names button
Your name will be modified, adding the machine name as the prefix. Click OK
Click OK on the Log on as a service Properties window to apply the change.
It is a little bit of a pain, but after doing that, I was able to continue installing TeamCity

TF400997: Configuring Scheduled backup with TFS 2013

I am getting TF400997 when I am trying to configure TFS Scheduled backup using TFS Admin console. Here is my setup:
SQL Server name: Machine1
SQL Server service running under: sqlserverservice#domain.com (which is a domain user and local admin on Machine1 and Machine2)
SQL Server agent service running under: sqlserverservice#domain.com
TFS server name: Machine2
TFS service running under: tfsservice#domain.com (local admin on Machine2 and Machine1)
Network backup path: \Machine2\Backup (gave full permission to sqlserverservice#domain.com on Backup folder)
This is what I am getting while verifying the settings and it does not allow me to setup scheduled backup:
Google this already and it looks like my setup should work, Can anyone please help?
Please try this one:
configure your SQL Account to run under domain\tfsservice instead of tfsservice#domain.com
configure your TFSBackup
Backup is executed by TFS Job Service: check also TFS user's permissions.
The network share has to have computer (machine) based security rights. Here are the steps you have to do:
Open the properties of the shared folder on target machine.
Open the "Security" tab
Click on "Edit" button under the "Group or user names" frame. This will open the folder permissions window
Click "Add" on the "Permissions for ..." window. This will open the user/group selection window
Click "Object Types" button on the selection window. This will open the "Object Types" window
Select "Computers" on the "Object Types" window. Click on "Ok". This will close the "Object Types" window
Enter the target machine name into the object name frame. You can use the "Check Names" button to validate the name or use the "Advanced" button to select the computer from the domain objects list. Click on "Ok" and close the user/group selection window
Select the recently added computer object on the permissions window and give it the required permissions.
Close the remaining windows by clicking "Ok"
and voila!
The only tip I could mention is that you shouldn't use a subfolder from another share. It's possible but most probably you would end up dealing with mixed permissions.
PS: The SQL Service on TFS should be either in "Network Service" or "SYSTEM" context. Local account service logons won't gain access to the network share with these steps.
go to services and make this service SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) log on as administrator

User '' does not have required permissions, SSRS 2008 on Windows 8

When you try to log into SSRS's root site at http:// (servername)/Reports it displays:
User '' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
This is on a 64 bit edition of Windows 8 Pro, running SQL Server 2008 enterprise. Everything should be using the local system as the account of execution.
I have tried changing the execution account as my user which is admin, I have added the site as the trusted site, I have UAC turned completely off, I have tried to hit the site with IE AS ADMIN, Chrome, and Firefox. Everything I try the site states back that I don't have the rights. I go into SQL Server and ensure my roles are everything for my user. It does not care. I am currently reinstalling the SSRS node of the SQL Server install but am curious if anyone else had this issue yet.
I am going to try to change my account to a 'local' account as I am thinking that may be an issue yet I don't understand why SQL Server can recognize my login integrated just fine. Honestly I never ran into this and am wondering if this is an issue just with Windows 8 accessing SQL Server 2008. I would upgrade but I have a full version of SQL Server 2008 and not of 2012 so I am hesitant to just upgrade unless Express 2012 will come with Business Intelligence Development Studio and SSRS site with tools.
EDIT: 3-8-2016:
No answer with: "Just turn on site settings" is valid as this is the first time installing as the admin of the server or machine locally and not able to access the landing page as that admin.
No answer with: "Just run IE as admin" will work last I tested that.
Answers with "Trusted SITE settings MAY WORK" on Windows 8 and higher as I had a similar problem to this with Windows 10 and on Windows 10 it did fix it. I am not going to rollback two OS versions to check at home though, sorry.
I don't get how this question can be existing for a while and people are now on a mission to claim it is duplicate when the very answer is different than the potential duplicate. That whole thread deals with someone able to get into the site with elevated permission and just not setting up roles and users after the fact. This is the main user of the machine not getting to the landing page as an admin to the site listed as the default landing. Not even the same ballpark. Getting into a page as an admin to let local users in versus the highest level God user not getting in is not the same.
Everything in this answer is true but don't reinstall all of SSRS thats nonsense...
Windows 8
Disable UAC
Enable Administrator Account (You can go to Control Panel > Computer Management > Users)
Restart PC
Run IE ad Administrator when prompted login with your local Administrator account you enabled.
You will need to adjust site settings security and folder settings security. Easy fast fix just add "Everyone" in both of those with full rights.
Problem solved!
I ran into the same issue myself but with Windows 7 and SQL Server 2008. I resolved the issue following the instructions from Suresh Kumar's blog post at http://skamie.wordpress.com/2010/06/24/ssrs-and-uac/
In a nutshell here are the steps you need to take to resolve this issue:
Start your browser using 'run as Administrator'.
Navigate to the report manager and under Site Settings -> Security assign your account or the local administrators group to the System Administration role.
Then navigate to the home folder and under the security settings assign your account or the local administrators group to the Browser, Conent Manager, My Reports, Publisher and Report Builder roles.
Now you should be able to run your browser as normal and access SSRS without any issues.
Okay this is really annoying what needed to be done but here goes.
From what I kept reading Windows 8 does not by default enable the default administrator account.
I usually don't use this account but in this case I was desperate as my account could not get in.
I understand ONCE YOU ARE IN you can set the site settings, that does not help if you cannot even see the site's main landing page to see that setting.
The steps I took to finally resolve were;
Uninstall SSRS Node COMPLETELY by going to control panel>SQL Server 2008>Remove>Check Reporting Services
Enable default admin account: command prompt>run as administrator>net user administrator p#ssw0rD, hit enter.
New line: net user administrator /active:yes
Reboot
Reinstall SSRS from disc with logging in as default administrator
Install SP3 as administrator
Go to IE.exe DIRECTLY in Windows 8: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe>Run as administrator.
Go to http:// (servername)/Reports
You SHOULD now be able to finally see site settings. NOW YOU CAN FOLLOW everyone's directions of adding YOUR USER under site settings. Also go to folder permissions and add the user as a default here as well.
(optional) For safety I would hide the default admin account now by using step 2 but substitute /active:no in.
If your main admin can't open the door, no one is getting in. That was the main issue I was having. My default admin could not get in. Now everything is working fine and dandy like it should with deploying from BIDS as well.
I had the same problem on my Windows 8 system (32 bit) with SQL Server 2008R2. When I started IE using 'run as Administrator' it still asked for a user name and password and resulted in "user does not have permissions"-error when I entered my user name and password. This is what fixed it for me:
I disabled UAC in the registry (Set HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableLUA to 0). I first set notify-level under Control Panel | System and Security | Change User Account Control to the lowest level but that didn't make any difference.
After reboot I started IE using 'run as Administrator'. Went to Report Manager | Site Settings | Security: added my account as System administrator.
Still in Report Manager I went to Home | Folder Settings and added my account with role Content Manager.
I enabled UAC through Control Panel | System and Security | Change User Account Control settings by setting it to default level again. (Reboot required)
When I run IE as Administrator now and supply my user name and password it does show the homepage of the report manager.
Run Internet Explorer as administrator (right click on the Taskbar icon)
Step 1 :: Add your local username to the Site Settings security roles page. (Security - System Administrator)
Step 2 :: Add your local username to the Folder Settings on the home page. (Select Content Manager)
Close the Administrator IE session.
Open IE in normal mode under your user account.
Windows 8.1
I resolved this with help from the answer by Austin McLaughlin posted earlier. In my case I had been logged in with a local account that had administrator privileges, but attempting to http://127.0.0.1/Reports (hearinafter referred to as "the Reporting Services Manager") produced the error reported by the OP.
The key for me was that the Administrator account was disabled by default in my Windows 8.1 laptop. Note that I did not originally have Windows 8.1 Pro, so there was no "Local Users and Groups" under "Computer Management". Thus, I had to purchase the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack online from MS for $100.
In Windows Explorer, right click on the Computer node and select "Manage".
Navigate to Local Users and Groups > Users
Right click on Administrator and select Properties
De-select "Account is disabled"
Restart PC
Log in to the PC as Administrator (I did not have to enter a password for the Administrator account on first login.)
From the desktop, run IE. No need to run as Administrator, of course, since you logged in as Administrator.
Navigate to the Reporting Services Manager.
At this point you should be logged in to the Report Administrator and on the Home screen. I had not been able to get this far before.
On the Home screen, click "New Role Assignment"
In "Group or user name", enter the local administrator account you use for development; i.e.: [yourmachine]\[username]
Select all the checkboxes (shortcut is to click the checkbox to the left of "Role") and click OK.
In the upper right hand side of the page, click Site Settings.
On the left side of the page, click Security.
Click "New Role Assignment"
In "Group or user name" enter the same account as in step 10
Check "System Administrator" checkbox and click OK
As a precaution, disable the Administrator account that you enabled in step 4.
Log out, then back in with your local account from step 10.
In IE, browse to the Reporting Services Manager. Note: It was not necessary for me to start IE as Administrator.
At this point you should be able to access Reporting Services Manager page, and configure reporting services further.
Change service account type as "Network Service" in service account tab then stop and start service and run IE as Administrator.
From Reporting Services Configuration Manager you can get to the node Report Manager Url. The URL works from this screen. Now you can use the Folder Settings to add yourself as a Content Manager, etc... Now the url will work for your user.
In IE, just add Add the reporting services website to "Local intranet" sites.
That's it.
Just open IE as Run As Administrator and just type URL as http://localhost/reports

User does not have permission to access a database

I'm trying to connect to a database using Windows Authentication. I believe that my current user does not have access to it.
How can I enable a user to login to SQL Server, and use the database?
You need to use the SQL Server Management Studio program to grant access for the user. You'll need to connect in with a login that has administration privileges for the database. If you have don't have those privileges you'll need to contact someone that does.
If you do have a login with those privileges:
open Management Studio
connect to the database server the database is on and look for the Security node in Object Explorer.
Expand the Security node and look for the name of the user in the list of Logins. The user's name should be the same as the user's Windows login if you are using Windows Authentication DOMAIN\Username format.
If the user is there, you will need to grant that user appropriate permissions to the database (read, execute SPs, etc.).
If the user isn't there you will need to add them.
Permission can also be added by group so you should check for groups that the user belongs to as well.
I had a scenario where I inherited a PC from another developer that left the organization. I couldn't access the default instance using Windows Authentication.
Here was the solution:
Open up SQL Server Configuration Manager
Click on "SQL Server Services"
Locate the Instance in the right pane and double-click for its properties
In the "Log On" tab, notice the "Log on as:" radio button option is set to "Built-in account".
Change the option to "This account" and add your Windows Authentication account with your domain and username and enter your password.
Click "Apply". Click "Yes" when it asks you if you want to restart the instance.
This will automatically add your Windows Authentication user account (Active Directory or local user) to the SQL Server instance. You will now be able to connect right away to the selected instance. As best practice, reset the settings back to the Built-in user account (most likely Network Service).
That's it!
