Read Only permission for ReportingServices.GetPolicies()

I would like for a user to view the groups that have permssion for a
particular folder in SQL Reporting Services that they have access to via the
Web Services by calling ReportingServices.GetPolicies(). I realize
(according to MS's website and trial and error) that the user must have the
"Read Security Policies" right for that folder. The only way I have found
to set this via a Role is to allow "Set security for individual items".
Is there any way to allow a user to only view the security information via
ReportingServices.GetPolicies() without allowing them to change the security
policies?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Jeremy M. WhiteWell, I found a way to do it, but I'm not really excited about it.
Currently, I am selecting directly from the SQL Reporting services database.
Again, I would prefer to do it through the web services, but I guess this
will suffice. For anyone interested, here is the SQL statement to retrieve
the policy information:
SELECT
U.UserName, U.UserType, R.RoleName, R.Description
FROM
Catalog As C INNER JOIN
PolicyUserRole As PU
ON (C.PolicyID = PU.PolicyID)
INNER JOIN
Roles As R
ON (PU.RoleID = R.RoleID)
INNER JOIN
Users As U
ON (PU.UserID = U.UserID)
WHERE
C.Path = @.ItemName
If anyone is able to determine how to provide read-only access to the
policies via a role, please let me know.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Read Only Access to Stored Procedures

We do not allow anyone except DBA's the DBO access permission in our
organization for the "production" environment. The programmers get
DataReader/DataWriter access in production, however, they are wanting
read-only access to the stored procedures.
Does anyone know of a why to give them READ ONLY access to stored procedures
?
Thanks for your help.
ColetteThe only permissions you can grant Users WRT SP's is Execute.
Either a user is allowed to execute a SP or not.
I would seriously re-consider Developer Access to production. Developers
should only be in development, and support staff read only production rights
.

Place the users in a role and grant permission to the role.
