IIS permissions.

403?

You're not even touching the Report Server.

You need to get your IIS admin to allow your group/users permission to see the RS folders

if am opening a report page it starts rendering the page but then throws the following error and no data is shown:

The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.|||Admin tools -> IIS
directory security
edit
select 'integrated windows authentication'
ok

right click 'permissions'
from here you can see which groups/users have access

it is better to administer with groups as that way, when someone bothers you to see a report, you can tell them to go and see the helpdesk/whoever manages AD groups instead, and get them to add them to the group
