Cannot Deploy Reports to Report Server

I am in desperate need of help.
We have just set up SQL Server (2005, SP2) with RS on a Windows 2003 server.
None of us have ever deployed RS before. To make matters worse, all of our
network operations have been outsourced, so we do not have control of the
machine and the people who do don't know what they're doing either.
I can browse to <servername>\reports and to
<servername>\reportexecution2005.asmx. However when I try to browse to
<servername>\reportserver or try to deploy reports from VS2003, I get the
following error: The permissions granted to user 'ADSDOMAIN\ERichardson' are
insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied) .
a)How should the permissions be set up so that I can deploy and manage the
reports?
b)How should the permissions be set up so that certain users can access the
Report Manager?
c)How should the permission be set up so that the majority of users can
access reports through links in the VS.Net application?
I know this is a lot of material to cover at once. We've got the blind
leading the blind here. Maybe we could start with how to grant me access to
deploy and manage the reports and then take it from there.
I would appreciate any help I can get. These outsourced people aren't going
to make the effort to figure this out. We're going to have to spoonfeed
them:-)

For Item (a), you may want to check the security on the Reports and
ReportServer Virtual Directories. You may want to change the Directory
Security (via right-clicking the virtual directories in IIS ->
Properties -> Directory Security tab -> Edit... button -> select
'Anonymous access' and 'Integrated Windows Authentication').
For Item (b), you set the user permissions in the Report Manager in
the second tab on the main page (I don't remember the name of it). You
can allow Browse, Publish, etc for various users that you add (note
that the standard windows format is: DOMAIN\User).
For Item (c), Browse permissions should be sufficient for most users
(refer to Item (b) response).
Hope this helps.
