Permissions issue connecting SharePoint Designer 2007 to a MOSS site
G Morning,
I am trying to set up a new sharepoint dev site and cannot get SharePoint Designer to connect to the site with anything besides the service account. I have built a group in the site (called it Designer) and have given it both Full & Designer perimission.
Everytime I try to File>Connect to Site>type in AD account & password i get the 'You do not have permission to connect to this Web Site' error.
What am i missing in the set up to cause this issue?

I have read that Designer should be able to do it and would prefer a permission with a little less power than Farm.
We have consultant about to log in for a short stink and would rather not give them the keys to the whole server.

Thanx for the input Dale,
I will just have to threaten the consultants with torture and back up the site nightly...lol
I guess i will also just voice my concerns to Microsoft so they will make look at this issue.
Thanx for you time

To add yourself as a farm administrator, go to Central Administration > People and Groups: Farm Administrators.
