Access to view reports problem.

I have created a few reports which I have published to
the reporting server.
There is a group created something/Admins for example,
that was assigned to some users. I have the entire folder
that contains the reports in the manager set to allow
browser previleges to view reports within.
The problem is that even though the users are assigned to
that same group as the group name we set up for the
folder to view the reports, they get denied access to
view them. Oddly enough, if we add a single users NT id
to a role to view the reports in the folder, it works
fine.
So why is it if we provide a role to view reports
assigned to a specific users NT id, that works, yet using
the group they are assigned to does not work?
Thanks for the help.You might try doing an IISRESET after adding or removing the Group. It helped me.

Access denied to everyone...

So, I'm having a crazy day. I have RS running on a development server. My development staff and I are all local admins on the machine with our domain accounts and we each have local accounts that are admins. All accounts, local and domain, have been setup on RS as everything. System Admins, Content Managers, etc. The entire dev staff is assigned to all roles.
Today, I tried to access the Report Manager to upload some reports only to discover that I have insufficient permissions to access anything. The front page comes up but even the site name isn't displayed. I did a trace on my local instance and when bringing up the front page 8 or so SPs are executed. On the development server only the first 2 are executed. None of the rest of the team sees anything different. Server and local workstation have been rebooted. Nothing.
None of the config files on the development server have been altered since installation and I can verify all role assignments through the database. So I don't know what would have happened in the last couple weeks to prevent us access.
I've searched the group and have seen several posts of a similar problem(insufficient permissions) but the advice is usually to grant extra permissions. The problem for us is that no one can access report manager to grant the permissions.
I'm stumped and figure I'll probably have to end up reinstalling(which sucks) but I thought I'd see first if anyone had any ideas as to what I can try.
HELP!!See if the following suggestion works for you:
