Security Q1: Create Document from Salesforce UI but not via API
This looks like a security-related issue. I can create a Document, in a public folder, when logged into the Salesforce.com UI as a user with "Standard User" permissions. However, using the Sforce 3.0 API, I get this error message: "insufficient access rights on cross-reference id".
Now, when logged in as a user with "System Administrator" permissions, I can create a Document just as well with the API as the UI. (More precisely, as long as Profile/Administrative Permissions/Modify All Data is checked On, this user can create a new document via the API. Otherwise, the access rights error occurs.)
Note that the fields I'm including in the initial create() call are:
- FolderId
- Name
- Body
- AuthorId
Any clues?

Hi HaroldH,
We have noted this as a bug and we are working on a patch right now. We hope to have the patch published prior to the Summer '04 release.
