User's Being Prompted For Credentials When They Open a Form ThatCalls The UserGroup.asmx Web Service

[jonathangill]

I am having a permissions issue with some users when accessing an
InfoPath form from a SharePoint (MOSS) 2007 form library. The form
uses the GetUserCollectionFromRole method in MOSS’ built-in
UserGroup.asmx web service to return a list of user’s in a particular
role into a drop down menu.

The problem is that some users (most) receive a prompt for a username
and password when they open the form and it calls the web service on
load…while myself and another user do not. I have Full Control on the
site, but the other users should have access to run the web service as
well.

The problem is that even when they enter their correct NT Usernames
and passwords it does not load the results of the web service into the
form field.

Is there a way to stop them from being prompted for a username and
password each time they open the form?

Hi,
The user should have permissions under the Role which is used in
GetUserCollectionFromRole.

I would also check their IE security zone settings for the site. If it is
not in Local Intranet then the access and security for data conections will
be a problem.
