Are the user folders created under the "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" account?

Only way I have been about to get these is to extract the report using SSRS Scripter..

All the folders under users were create by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

I tried RSScripterfirst but I have just tried again with the current build and get the following error

The permissions granted to user 'me' are insufficient for performing this operation.

Thanks

Paul

If you use the web interface to assign "you" permissions then it shou,ld give you access.

You will need to add your user name to \Users Folders\Username\My Reports.

Just tested myself and all seems to work ok.

SSRS is using the "ReportServer" app pool details when creating the folders...

Many thanks for this.

I had added myself to everything at the users folders level and assumed that the parenting security would filter down, it does but only to the actual user directory and not to the 'my reports' directory underneath. I checked one but not the other!

Just waiting for confirmation from the user that they can see their reports.

Thanks again.
