"Error, you need to be an administrator on the CRM server to use this function."

In IIS, expand the server name in the list where web deployment or CRM is running, then expand Web Sites, then Default Web Site.

Right-click the name of the CRM instance and click Properties.

Click the Directory Security tab, then Edit in the Anonymous access and authentication control.

In the Authentication Methods window, check the "Integrated Windows authentication" option.

Click OK to exit the windows.

An IIS reset will be warranted after making this change.

The quick fix

This can be easily achieved with a simple web.config change (located in "\WWWRoot\web.config");

   </security>
 </system.webServer>
