I've got the same problem. My group is setup in the SSP site, and the SharePoint textbox correctly resolves the group name. But when I press ok to add it; the action fails with the error “The specified user or domain group was not found.”.

On another site, I found someone stating you can use the FBA groups to give permissions to, but I haven't been able to do that either.

Hi Randy, I was wondering if you might be able to help? We have read these 8 tutorials many times and always finding something else useful, very well written and easy to understand!

We are trying to bring data from SQL into a customised list using the BDC, we want to be able to view and refresh the BDC columns' data from SQL (but no need to update it) the only updates will be to the other custom list columns.

We have succeeded to use the BDC tools to get a def file created and the data is indeed coming through to BDC web parts and now into our list. However we can only add one row at a time using the MOSS GUI tools provided and would like for example to add this months (multiple) rows from SQL, to then be viewed in the list, the user can update the other list data as necessary beside this.

I can't workout whether I need to add/change my finder method, or whether I need to somehow use code behind to populate my list with multiple rows.. is this possible out of the box as such?

Many thanks in advance for your advice. And looking forward to more great articles..

Lucy

Mark, I'm sure you've either figured this out or given up by now, but you should know that SharePoint Groups are Site Collection Specific. The SSP can't see the Groups in other Web Applications that contain your Site Collecitons.

This has been a tremendous help for us. One thing we are having an issue with is assigning BDC permissions to groups. We are going into our Central Admin SSP and clicking “Business Data Catalog Permissions”

However, it is not finding any of our SharePoint groups. I can add permissions to users (both AD and FBA) easily, but it will not recognize any groups. For instance, I have a group set up called “Members Only” in one of my web applications that I would like to give access, but it will not find it.

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong here?
