Empty RS Home-folder after changing IIS properties

Hi,
I've installed Reporting Services on my laptop and built some folders and
reports, works great. But when other persons tried to access my reports they
only got an empty Home-folder when connecting (to http://myserver/Reports). I
tried to change properties at IIS/default website/reports/properties
(directory security/anonymous access and auth control/anonymous access) and
after that also I get an empty Home-folder. I can do/see nothing! As you
already noticed I'm a total newbie to webservers/security/domains etc. Any
tips to get the access to my reports back ? I've changed nothing but IIS
props.
/jerome kThis is not an IIS issue. You have to go in and set security on your folders in
Report Manager. Users must have at least Browser permissions to see anything in
the folders, including your root folder.

same, i.e. not given access. Change IIS back the way it was. Then create a
local group and put the people you want to have access to it in the group.
Next read up about roles. RS is role based. You have to put Window users or
groups into a role (using Report Manager). The window user or group can
either be local or domain. I create a local group and then add my domain
user and groups to the local group.
