After setting up SSRS 2016, I RDP'd into the server (Windows Server 2012 R2), navigated to the reports URL (https://reports.fakeserver.net/Reports/browse/) and created a folder title FakeFolder; everything appeared to be working fine. I then disconnected from the server, browsed to the same URL, logged in as the same user, and encountered the error below.

The permissions granted to user 'fakeserver\mitchs' are insufficient for performing this operation.

Confused, I tried pretty much every solution suggested on this page and still could not create the same behavior both locally and externally when navigating to the URL and authenticating. I then clicked the ellipsis of FakeFolder, clicked Manage, clicked Security (on the left hand side of the screen), and added myself as a user with full permissions. After disconnecting from the server, I browsed to https://reports.fakeserver.net/Reports/browse/FakeFolder, and was able to view the folder's contents without encountering the permissions error. However, when I clicked home I received the permissions error.

For my purposes, this was good enough as no on else will ever need to browse to the root URL, so I just made a mental note whenever I need to make changes in SSRS to first connect to the server and then browse to the Reports URL.
