SiteDate WS 401 UnAuthorized Error

[jmnewbie]

I'm trying to use the SiteDate WS in SPP 2003. I'm an admin on the box and with the SPP server. I've been able to get other web services to work, but not this one. Keep getting Unathorized errors. I've set the credentials, but to no avail. Here's my code

palm_web_service.SiteData.SiteData sd = new palm_web_service.SiteData.SiteData();
sd.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

palm_web_service.SiteData._sList[] lists;
sd.GetListCollection(out lists);

foreach (palm_web_service.SiteData._sList list in lists)
Debug.WriteLine(list.Title.ToString());

me too. i noticed that my http POST message does NOT contain a soap xml message! i'm using C# and the WebService wizard in VisualStudio. i wonder if this is a bug in the WebService wizard?

oops. after more careful investigation, i realized my http POST does include the soap xml. i'm still getting 401, tho

Lists GetListCollection works fine, tho. ???

i've discovered that to run the SiteData.GetListCollection method requires one fo the rights in the default SharePoint Administrator group.

for my app, i'm gonna use the GetListCollection from the Lists web service. that can be executed by a user who's only in the default Contributor group.

has anone seen a list of the rights needed to run each method of each SharePoint web service?
