Many of the SSRS administrator I have interacted are a little confused about enabling Report Builder tab. The reason is when the get on the box where they have installed reporting services, they browse to http://localhost/reports they are able to see the report builder tab, but when the try to access the site remotely they cannot see it. To confuse matters future, the administrator keeps granting access to the Report Builder Role and nothing happens.

Same as shown above click OK
6. Select Site Setting

When User1 access the site remotely should see the Report Builder Tab.
