${\varphi }$ of inverse semigroup S on a ring A (with domain of  ${\varphi }(s)$ denoted by
${\varphi }(s)$ denoted by  $D_{s^*}$), we show that if the ideals
$D_{s^*}$), we show that if the ideals  $D_e$, with e an idempotent, are unital, then the skew inverse semigroup ring
$D_e$, with e an idempotent, are unital, then the skew inverse semigroup ring  $A\rtimes S$ can be realized as the convolution algebra of an ample groupoid with coefficients in a sheaf of (unital) rings. Conversely, we show that the convolution algebra of an ample groupoid with coefficients in a sheaf of rings is isomorphic to a skew inverse semigroup ring of this sort. We recover known results in the literature for Steinberg algebras over a field as special cases.
