UAC and SSRS

If you are trying to access a local SSRS be sure to run either SSMS or IE as an administrator. This is really poor that a major release of both OS and SQL latter they have still not fixed this.

You can reference here for more detailed steps and read the connect ticket. If your going to tout about building more robust software don't make me run your web browser as an admin!

The worst part of this is when you login with SSMS it gives you no warning, just everything is disabled. It wasn't until I browsed to the report manager and was greated with did it all click:

User 'domain\joeuser' does not have required permissions. Verify that sufficient permissions have been granted and Windows User Account Control (UAC) restrictions have been addressed.
