Developers on Other Machines (formerly: Problem installing SQL Server Reporting Services )

Bruce:
Sorry for the misposting.
I don't understand what you mean by "you haven't setup your roles for
the developers on other machines." Once a user role (developer or
otherwise) is set up on the server, shouldn't it be in effect no
matter where a user logs in from?

>>I suspect one of two things are happening. You have anonymous access on
which ends up treating everyone as the same regardless of how they are
logged in and they end up not having the permissions you wish them to have.
Or, the developers are either not assigned to a role, or are assigned to a
role that does not have the correct rights, or are assigned to a role with
the correct rights but that role has not been applied to the appropriate
part of the website. Unless you override it, any folder/report inherits the
role assignments from further up the tree. So if you assign the role from
above
My guess is when they are on the server they are not logged in as themselves
but are logged in as the admin for the local machine.
If they log into the server as themselves and the website does not look the
same as when they try to access it from their computers then my reasoning
falls apart.
So, check the the following.
1. Do you have anonymous access turned on?
2. What happens if you log into the server as one of the developers that are
having difficulties.

finally got the guy who installed to look at the research I've been
doing and he ended up reinstalling "paying closer attention to the
configuration options". He did have to do some monkeying around with
the anonymous thing, but he seems to have it working now. We'll see
how it goes if we ever put some actual users on it.
Thanks all for the input. It was a big help.
