Error message when you try to change the default company for a user in Business Portal 3.0 or in Microsoft Business Portal 2.5: "Error: Access is denied"

Symptoms

When you try to change the default company for a user, you receive the following error message:
Internet Explorer Script Error

An error has occurred in script on this page. Line: 127 Char: 3 Error: Access is denied Code: 0 URL: http://XXX/businessportal/portal/administration/AC_DefaultCompany.aspx?UserID=GUID
In this error message, GUID represents the GUID of the user for whom you tried to change the default company.

This problem occurs in Business Portal 3.0 in Microsoft Dynamics GP, in Business Portal 3.0 in Microsoft Dynamics SL, and in Microsoft Business Solutions Business Portal 2.5.

Note You only receive this error message when you try to change the default company of a user who does not have the Administrator role assigned.

Cause

This issue occurs because the Default Company field is a user-defined field and not an administrator-defined field. Therefore, because the user does not have the Administrator role assigned, you cannot change that user's default company on the Site Settings tab in Business Portal 3.0 or in Microsoft Business Portal 2.5.

The individual user can change his or her default company by using the My Settings option in Business Portal 3.0, in Microsoft Business Portal 2.5, or in Microsoft Business Portal 2.5 Feature Pack.

Method 2: Temporarily assign the Administrator role to the user
