title: Why does SSRS give an rsAccessDenied when trying to view Properties unless user is an administrator on report server?
body: <p>I have a SQL 2008r2 report server where, despite having the appropriate ROLE permissions assigned within the RS, you can not view a report/folders Properties, unless you are also a member of the administrator group on the server.  You can view the report itself, but not the Properites tab.  When viewing the Properties tab, an rsAccessDenied error is shown with the message "The permissions granted to user 'XXX\XXX' are insufficient for performing this operation."</p>
  
  <p>My understanding is that just being a member of the Browser role should be sufficient to view a reports properties, and the account actually is member of all roles (Content Manager, Publisher, Broweser, etc), so that isn't the issue, so why would you also need to be a member of the administrator group <strong>on the server</strong>?</p>
  
  <p>Given that everything is being done from a browser on a remote computer, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what the Properties tab is doing that requires the extra permissions.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone know what's going on and what needs to be changed so that the user doens't need any permissions on the server itself?</p>
