Populating a user pick list failing if user is not an admin or portal owner

Populating a user pick list failing if user is not an admin or portal owner

I have a function that, until recently worked fine.  The function essentially copies another project.  One aspect of this copying was to take the value of a UDF that is a User Pick List, find the correct user id for that user, and populate the corresponding pick list UDF in the target project.

Recently (I can't say exactly how long ago), this aspect of the copying started to fail, and actually caused the entire copying to fail.  I've isolated the user pick list updates and removed them from the main update, so MOST of my copy process works.

The curious thing about this is, if the ID on the "source" project belongs to a user who is an Admin or the Portal Owner, the population of the "Target" project's User Pick List field works just fine.  Any other user profile seems to cause it to fail.

The gist of how I do this is to get a list of portal users, and compare the user to my "source" user:

userresp = invokeurl
[
url :endPoint + portalId + "/users/"
type :GET
connection:"projectusers"
];
//info userresp;
users = userresp.getJSON("users").toJSONList();
for each  user in users
{
curruser = user.getJSON("name");
if(curruser == salesperson1)
{
salesperson1id = user.getJSON("id");
//info "Sales Person: " + salesperson1;
//info "Sales Person ID: " + salesperson1id;
}
...
}

I then try an update using a map with this entry:

editmp2.put("UDF_USER1",salesperson1id);

if salesperson1id belongs to an admin or portal owner, everything works.  The other profiles fail.
Any help?

Thanks,

George
