Logon failure

To get my reports to work from the 2005 Report Manager I had to put the
Execution Account into the Local Administrators Group, otherwise I got a
Logon Failoure message when attempting to view the report. Is this how it's
sipposed to be?Don't use anonymous access with windows authentication......
Kinda defeats the purpose.

had a limited donain account set for the services and the execution account.
When a report was selected to be viewed a logon failure error resulted saying
that "The user has not been granted the requested logon type at this machine
"
I was unable to figure out how to change the requested logon type, so I
added the account to the Local Administrators group and I no longer got the
Logon failure error. Now I thought that Microsoft was attempting to secure
the way that things worked so that an account as in this case would not need
to have such elevated permissions. I am looking for information that can
explain what is required for an account to be able to execute reports when
requested and validation that they have to be in the Administrative group.
The anonymous caused me confusion because I don't see where it comes into
play.
Thanks
