Your role no longer valid error message and cannot edit page

Question

Unfortunately I don't have access to the file, am asking on
behalf of a
friend who is skittish about his skills navigating a forum.
His question is:
When I open contribute, and select the website I want to
edit..there is a
yellow bar across the top of the screen that says "your role
in this website
is no longer valid. Click connect to update your connection
with a valid
one" so when I click connect, it goes through some screens,
then it asks
what folder on the ftp server the website is in? before there
was this
problem, I could get into the page I wanted to edit, and make
the changes,
then when I would hit the publish button the old page would
show up..so I
could make the changes but they weren't publishing..but at
that point I was
getting no error message???
He's having those two problems.
Any thoughts? I don't know diddly about Contribute. Thanks.

Hi, This is because SSRS requires a Login to connect to the datasource to process the report when subscription will be occuring at its scheduled time. I would recommend you to store the credential securily into report server.
GoTo: Report>Properties> Click on the Data Sources tab and you will see following options:
a)A shared data source
b)A custom data source
Use option b) and click on option Credentials stored securely in the report server
and provide credential information and further you can use options: Windows credentials and Impersonate the authenticated User if you require. Click on apply button.
*You can use any option of them provided in first option(a) also using the shared data source which is having credential saved into report server.
Once you have done with above you will be able to create subscription.
