After installing MOSS onto a Virtual Machine and trying to connect to the Portal not using the SharePoint service account initially you may find that you will recieve a "ACCESS DENIED" error. All of the users and permission that I have set up in Sharepoint are Windows-based Active Directory accounts.
Form Based Authentication
If your role provider is not configured correctly for Single Sign On or you are using form based authentication you can change the policy of your webapp to add a user accounts or AD group into the Web Application Policy providing the relevant security access required.
Central Admin > Application Management > Application Security > Policy for Web Application
Add Users > Select SharePoint & specific zone > Add User > Pick Full Control if required > Finish
