Hi
perhaps related: A customer changed the account running Queue, Event and Calculation Service to the service account running Project Server Service. The account was no local admin. But is member of wss_admin_wpg group and that has modify permissions on the web.config. 

The effect was that the Reporting Publish jobs in the queue failed because with a 401 unauthorized error. The error was resolved by granting this account local admin permissions.

But the default would be that the farm account runs the three services and this works without local admin permissions.

Reporting message processor failed:

  • ReportingProjectChangeMessageFailed (24006) - Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)). Details: id='24006' 
    name='ReportingProjectChangeMessageFailed' 
    uid='b0d71dc5-1782-ee11-8a1b-005056b161d1' 
    QueueMessageBody='Project UID='d87a5344-6967-ee11-8a18-005056b161d1'. PublishType='ProjectPublish'' 
    Error='Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))'
