Hi everyone.
I'm working with Reporting Services 2005, and I have a problem with the Report Manager. I'm using Windows Authentication for users. You see, when I use an Administrator Account I see all the reports and folders (including the Data Source). But when I use an User Account I don't see anything, except the banner and upper right options.
I try everything to solve this problem, but i didn't find a solution to it. The only way to see the reports and folders of the Report Manager is to have an Administrator Account.
Does someone have a solution for this issue?
Greetings,
Jose Luis
P.S: Here are a couple of screens to explain better my situation.

With an User Account:

You need to give the users rights to the report server. You can do this using report manager or SSMS. In report manager you need to go to SIte Settings and then configure site-wide security. The users need to be at least added to the browser role.

Hi Jack

In my case, i gave the users a Report Server Role call "System User", that have all the configuration to let my users to view the Report Manager's content. But, doesn't work at all.

If you have another suggestion, let me know it. Thanks!

Sorry, it's been a while since I have managed security and I sent you to the wrong place. On the Home page, click on the Properties tab and click on New Role Assignment. This is where you assign a user or group to the browser role. You can actually do this on each folder on the report server so you can have different security for each folder.

Thanks for the suggestion Jack, it solve my problem perfectly! I didn't know that you have to give access in the Report Manager by the Propieties Label, but it is a really good option.

Thanks again Jack for all your help.
