Need help configuring Report Server permissions

I can't seem to hit on the right combination of roles/persimssions to
set against the Report Server in order to allow my localhost
implementation to access/browse/upload reports. Is there some deFacto
setting(s) that I should be using?
After installation I was able to upload and browse. The trouble
started when I tried to instantiate a ReportingService object (I
wanted to be able to programatically browse the available reports -
previously uploaded). When I tried this I got an insufficient
privilege error for my generic internet user account. After having
tried a number of combinations I'm really stuck.
Any help appreciated! (how-to links, diagrams, recipes,...)
GlennGlenn,
The right question in this case is "Under what identity am I trying to call
the RS Web service?". For example, if it is from a WinForm app, you need to
set proxy credentials to DefaultCredentials, as follows:
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
Please review the "Using the SOAP API in a Windows Application" and "Using
the SOAP API in a Web Application" for more info.

Hope this helps.

articles (and have attempted to implement the code for my
application/WEB page). That's where I encounter the problems.
The article, which you reference, suggests adding impersonation to the
web.config... - already did that. It suggests setting the
ReportingService object credentials to the Default... - already did
that. There's not much else in the article (or others). What I'm
looking for is a little expertise on WEB/IIS 6.0 setup for using the
SQL Reporting Services in a XP Pro, VB.Net 1.1, SQL 2000 environment.
This can't that big a deal - but I'm swamped with other project issues
and have not had the time to research. I'm hoping that someone has
already gone through this and is willing to do some knowledge-sharing.
Thanks,
Glenn

What is the exact error message you get? Is it access denied, or is it
'USERNAME does not have the required permissions' type of error? Do
you have authentication in web.config set to windows and deny
anonymous acess?
I have some information here:
Authentication, Role-based Security, and SQL Reporting Services Web
Services
