Administrator with No Report Manager Privileges

I am logged on as a user with administrative privileges to
my machine, to the machine housing the report server
database, and to the the web server, yet when I go to
Report Manager, I do not have access to the Home folder,
only one lower folder, and no Site Settings for anything.
How do I add the necessary privileges if I'm already the
administrator?I found that if you have set the Report Server virtual directory to allow
anonymous access in the IIS mgmt console, you may find yourself in the
situation you described. I was experimenting with anonymous and got into the
situation, where I was a local admin but options like create new folders and
upload files were all gone from Report Manager. After I removed anonymous
access, I was able to fully administer Reporting Services via Report Manager
again.

user. Since that user does not have any role assignments in the report
server, they cannot see any folders, nor can they perform operations.
We recommend that you do not use anonymous access to the report server, but
enable windows secuirty.

Administrator does not have any privileges

I am logged on as a user with administrative privileges to my machine, yet when I go to the Report Manager, I have no tabs or Site Settings. How do I add the necessary privileges if I'm already the administrator?Are you using a custom security extension?

There is another thread on this same issue. I wonder whether you know why
setting anonymous access would result in this behavior, and whether there is
a way to retain both the admin privileges for the local admin and anonymous
access.

Allowing anonymous access means all users will be seen as the same user, the
server won't even ask them to provide their authentication information.
You can't have both anonymous and non anonymous on the same virtual
directories. I presume you could create two virtual directories one allowing
anonymous access, the other not.

Could you please elaborate how you can create two virtual directories and
work the way you described, when it comes to Reporting Services?
