We have 5 developers, 3 of whom can access the methods in https://c27devkypt12.ipads.nuwc.navy.mil/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx, 2 of whom cannot. I am at a dead end trying to find how permission to SharePoint's internal web services is established, and/or modified. Nothing in Central Administration seems to be of the right type.

I can get to the point where I have large, in bold, in a bar across the top of the page: UserProfileService and below that: The following operations are supported. For a formal definition, please review the Service Description and that followed by a list of the methods of the service. So I am getting interaction with the .asmx. Plus, when I click one of the methods, I get the page that shows the syntax for SOAP 1.1 & 1.2, HTTP GET & POST, along with the Invoke button, and, where applicable, the text box(es) for the parameter(s). But whatever method I invoke, I get a title bar that says "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error," and page contents: The website cannot display the page HTTP 500 Most likely causes: The website is under maintenance. The website has a programming error. What you can try: • Refresh the page. • Go back to the previous page. More information This error (HTTP 500 Internal Server Error) means that the website you are visiting had a server problem which prevented the webpage from displaying.
