reportbuilder clickonce

Hello!
Does anyone know which permissions our users will need in order to let
reportbuilder install from the SSRS homepage?
I have read that the clickonce process should make this smooth, BUT when we
try this, the reportbuilder does not install unless "local
administrator"-permissions are assigned to the users. According to the log,
the deployment process is trying to write to the registry - and this is
probably what makes the app require admin-permissions.
Strange - since Ive read an MS-article stating that the users should not
need these permissions.
Anyone has any comments ?

David,
What I did was go into Site Settings and create a new System Role
called ReportBuilderUser with just the Execute Report Definition task
assigned. After that it was just a case of assigning that role to the
individuals or groups that need to see the Report Builder button in
Report Manager.
Don't feel bad about needing help on this. Unless it's changed, the
MS documentation for this is not clear.

toolman|||Hi toolMan, thx for answering!
Thing is that in order for ReportBuilder application to install, the user
seem to need some permissions on their LOCAL computer (not the server
site-wide settings-stuff).
The ReportBuilder app seems to write to some registry-keys and in order to
do this, the users seems to need to be local adminstrators of their
machines.
Does anyone recognize this?
