Anonymous access in Reporting Services

Trying to set up a Reporting Services / Windows Sharepoint services demo
site and I am a little confused about the best way to allow anonymous
access. I would like to allow annonymous users to run reports but not set
properties, create subscriptions, or upload reports. I have seen some posts
that indicate that this is difficult to do correctly and that I should build
a custom authentication module. What is the state of the art here? Does
using SP1 or waiting for SP2 help?
Thanks,
SteveYou can assign a user to the anonymous account. Give this user just enough
rights to do what you want.
