permissions - Error TF218027 when creating a Team Project in TFS 2010

Question

Consider the scenario of a user creating a new Team Project. The user is a developer who wants to create and manage their Team Project.

• Why can't this user create a new Team Project, including the Reporting Services components?
• What can be done to resolve this error?

The exception is

TF218027: the following reporting folder could not be created on the server running SQL Reporting Services.

SQL Reporting services is running under an Active Directory service account created expressly for this purpose.

The developer attempting this action is a member of a TFS group with the following permissions.

Answer 1

The workaround way that I implemented was to ensure the developer was in a group that had 'Content Manager' permissions in the SQL Reporting Services.

I simply added the appropriate AD group in the textbox, and the operation worked perfectly. First I visited the SSRS page at http://myServer/TFS/Reports/MyCollection

Enter the "New Role Assignment" screen.
