I was busy configuring a new installation of TFS 2008 running on Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition and SQL Server 2008 Standard Edition and kept receiving this error when trying to create a new Team Project via Team Explorer.
I then tried to log into Reporting Services via Management Studio, only to find that the encryption keys needed to be deleted/restored. After doing this the error continued, but I was able to log into Reporting Services and luckily my TFS datasources were still there (and hopefully unharmed). The error however continued and the actual exception was...
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.AccessDeniedException: The permissions granted to user 'x' are insufficient for performing this operation.
Eventually I tried the following...
- Primary step: Start IE using Run as administrator
- Then add your local host to the Trusted Sites list in IE.
- Browse to http://localhost/reports (check your config for URL)
- Click Permissions tab. Add a new role. Add your personal account. Give yourself Content Manager role.
- Click the Site Settings link in the top-right corner.
- Select Security.
- Add new role assignment to your accounting, giving yourself System Administrator role.
...which was suggested here which seems to have done the trick.
