You receive an "Access denied" error message when you try to move a search scope or set a new default search scope in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

SYMPTOMS

When you create a new search scope on the Manage search scopes page of your portal site, and then you click Move Up, Move Down, or Use as Default Scope, to move the search scope up the list, move the search scope down the list, or set the search scope as the default scope, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:
Access denied

CAUSE

This problem may occur if the user account that is configured as the portal site application pool identity is a member of a site group that does not have the Manage Portal Site - Specify portal site properties and manage site settings right assigned to it. To move a search scope or to set a search scope as the default scope, you require this site group right.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, add the user account that is configured as the portal site application pool identity to a site group that has the Manage Portal Site - Specify portal site properties and manage site settings right assigned to it. For example, add the portal site application pool identity to the Administrator site group. To do so, follow these steps:
  1. On the Site Settings page of your portal site, under General Settings, click Manage users.
  2. In the list of users, click to select the check box next to the user account that is configured as the portal site application pool identity, and then click Edit Site Groups of Selected Users.
  3. In the Site Group Membership area, click to select the Administrator - Has full control of the Web site check box, and then click OK.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
