Error "The permissions granted to user '\IUSR_' are insufficient in Reporting Server

If you get this error "The permissions granted to user '\IUSR_' are insufficient for performing this operation." when you work with Reporting Server, it is because the reporting server's virtual directories under IIS is running in 'Annonymous Mode'. To fix this open IIS, right click on the virtual directory that your report server uses, click on the tab 'Directory Settings' and click edit under 'Authentication and Access Control' and untick the 'Enable Anonymous Access'.

Hi P, check the account that you are using in the application pool that the IIS virtual directory for reporting server uses. Make sure that the account you have there has the necessary sql rights.
