Local Groups and Access.

I'm trying to prototype some reports, and having difficulties granting access
to users, connecting to my LocalHost.
I work for a company that uses LDAP.
I have RS running on my LocalHost, and would like to grant access to users
to Report Manager so they can render reports.
In the Computer management > Local Users & Groups > Groups: I see Users,
Guests. Can I add these group(s) in the Report Manager using 'New Role
Assignment', and assign a Role, like Browser, then will a unknown user be
able to visit the site and render some reports.
Thanks,
rwiethornI'm getting closer, the user can see the reportmanger but cannot run a report.
Here is what I did:
I created a user on my local machine, call him Bob. I then created a group
on my local machine, called ReportViewers, and added Bob to the group. I then
added the group to ReportManager, gave it a Content Manager role, and for
'Configure site-wide security', System Role Assignments, assigned the group
as System Users.
However, they can not view the report. Ther error points to the Datasource.
The Datasource is supposed to pull a recordset from the AdventureWorks
catalog. It uses the SA account. When I look at the datasource in the
ReportManager, the credentials are saved (user name: sa and its password).
So why would that not return the results from the AdventureWorks database?
Do I neeed to add the local group also to the Database and catalog?
Do I need to add the IUSR_machine account to the database?
Do I need to add the ASPNET account to the group?
All help is appreciated,
thanks, confused,
