I need to edit the web.config file on a live Sharepoint environment, but I'm unsure what will happen if I do (I want to output custom errors). Will this cause the IIS6 worker process to recycle? Will active users lose their session state because of this? Or can I safely edit the file? ...

I'm considering using reporting services 05 SP2 with share point integration on a new reporting project. In this project's reports users can only see records they own.

How do I do this, given that I have the packaged up ...
