Minimum Permissions Required.

I have an SMS 2003 SP1 site. My helpdesk have a VB application that
they use to assign applications to workstations. As an SMS
administrator I can run this app with no issues. The helpdesk get an
access denied message. I need to know what are the minimum permissions
are to run the VB app. KB252674 talks about a similar situation, but
it takes the shotgun solution of making the helpdesk members of the SMS
Admins local group, which is a lot more permission than I want to give
out.
The line of code that the application barfs at is:
Services = Locator.ConnectServer(strSMSProviderServer, "root\sms\site_"
& strSMSProviderSitecode, User, Password). For the non-programmers
amongst us, this line of code authenticates and connects to the SMS CIM
repository.
Once connected the program runs: QueryResults =
Services.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM SMS_Package") in order to get a list
of all packages. These packages are then presented as a list to the
helpdesk user.
When the helpdesk user assigns the package to the workstation, all that
happens is that the computer account is added to a global group in AD
that has been used in an SQL membership rule to an advertisement.
So, what are the minimum permissions I need?
Read on the Central site object and read on the package class? I tried
that and still got an access denied mesage.
