Access denied by Business Data Connectivity - Solution

Just a FYI for folks trying to setup BCS. After setting up your external list, if you navigate to this list in SharePoint you might receive the following error: "Access denied by Business Data Connectivity". If so, then follow the instructions in this link. Also, replicate the same permissions to the "Set Metadata Store Permission" section. Since the metadata store contains all the models, external content types, methods and methods instances you need to set the permissions for your users to interact with metadata components, such as external content types. For more information regarding your permission options in the metadata store, check out Business Connectivity Services security operations (SharePoint Foundation 2010) which provides a set of security related admin  task for your BCS service application.

I hope you learn something, let me know what think.....

Something I learned about wss and moss for SharePoint 2007

In wss the spell checking feature on a wss list is not avaliabe to users and you don't have the option to activate it on site, site collection nor in ca. In moss there is a feature within ca that you activate or deactivate. Took me about 2 hours to figure this hours, grr.

Well I hope you learn something.
