title: Administrator cannot administer sql server reporting services
body: <p>I am running SQL Server Reporting Services on SQL Server 2008 Standard and trying to get the web pages to work.</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>What do I have to do to get RS (Report Manager, Reporting Services Connection), to see me as an admin in the first place so that I can make then change my role and look at the Web Service URL properly?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>I have Windows authentication Enabled in II7 and I have anonymous authentication disabled.</p>
  
  <p>I am logged in as a local Administrator (however the pages don't seem to realize that I am an admin).</p>
  
  <p>Through the tables in ReportServer db, I can tell that BUILTIN\Administrators is in there.</p>
  
  <p>I have my local machine in Trusted Sites in Internet Explorer.</p>
  
  <p>Using Chrome instead of IE, I get similar results. I have not tried Firefox.</p>
  
  <p>Most of the help I have found online assumes that you can add your login as an administrator explicitly from the perspective of RS.  I cannot figure out how to do that because everyway I try to administer roles I cannot get to work....</p>

  I see only Home, with Home, My Subscriptions, Help and cannot really do anything.  There are no reports there yet because when I try to deploy from BIDS, I get Error   1   The permissions granted to user 'Chris-PC\Chris' are insufficient for performing this operation.        0   0   </p>

  I see 
  You do not have permission to access this page.</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>And when I connect to Reporing Services through SQL Server Management Studio, I see Jobs, Security and Shared Schedules, and that's it.  I can expand Security>Roles and see 5 built in roles, however 
  when I right click on a Role, the context menu has Properties grayed out.</p>

  <p>What do I have to do to get RS to see me as an admin?</p>
