How to stop asking for the credentials while deploying reports in ssrs 2008

Solved it, sort of! I tried right clicking IE and selecting run as administrator, and then going to the report manager URL and everything worked properly.

I clicked on site settings on the top right of the page and added the greg user as a system administrator and system user.

I also added the greg user as a content manager on the root directory.

IT still says I was already a local administrator on that machine, but this seemed to be required to make it work.

Any thoughts why that was necessary?

It turns out that the problem was with the administrators group that my user was part of. I was part of the group \Administrators, but not part of BUILTIN\Administrators. BUILTIN\Administrators was the group administration that SSRS had set up by default.

After this was taken care of, everything started working just fine.
