Basic security setup

Hi there
Our company has just started using RS and I would like to
know how to set up basic security.
Our setup:
We have RS installed on one of our SQL servers. Our
Analysis department creates reports on their PC's (with
Reporing Services & Visual Studio.net installed on their
local PC). They will then deploy the reports to our RS
server and the Marketing department will access reports
through the RS web interface.
What I am struggling with:
I cannot figure out how to let users see reports without
giving them adminitrator rights on the RS server. I have
tried giving them access to the reportserver database -
this gives them access to the reportserver webpage, but
they cannot see any reports (I gave them access to
specific reports in RS manager).
I'm sure it's something stupid that I'm not doing, but
cannot figure out what it is. Could someone please help
me.
Thanks,
TheresaIf you are a 'Content Manager' on the report server (by default all local
admins are content managers) you can set permission on RS objects. Go to
the object in question, on the property tab there is a security sub tab
which will allow you to give users access rights. You most likely want to
use the Browser role but you will have to investigate to see what fits your
needs.
