IDocumentQuery.Execute() method throws user does not have edit permissions exception

Question

I'm trying to query a document folder for all of its containing documents. Its a basic query like this:
IPortletContext PortletContext = PortletContextFactory.CreatePortletContext(Request,Response);IRemoteSession PTSession;PTSession = PortletContext.GetRemotePortalSession();IDocumentManager documentManager = PTSession.GetDocumentManager();
IDocumentQuery documentQuery = documentManager.CreateQuery(FolderID); documentQuery.SetSortProperty(ObjectProperty.Name);IObjectQuery queryResults = documentQuery.Execute();
When I'm logged into the portal as an administrator, everything works fine. However if I'm logged in as a "regular" user, I get this exception when calling the Execute() method:
Plumtree.Remote.PRC.PortalException: Exception of type Plumtree.Remote.PRC.PortalException was thrown. ---> System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. --> Access denied: Current user does not have edit permission
I'm sending the Login Token to the portlet. Now I've tried giving the user Edit rights on the document folder as well as Edit the Knowledge Directory rights in the Activity Manager, but neither gets rid of the exception. I'm not sure what other "Edit" permissions to check. I don't even see why the user would need "Edit" permission to anything in the first place since the Execute() method simply returns an IObjectQuery that doesn't have any ability to make changes to any objects. I know that I could use the SearchFactory interface, but I wanted the results to be real time. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The problem here is that the query is created with default settings to show unapproved documents -- only users with edit access can see unapproved documents. Add the bold line to your code and it will work.
IDocumentManager docManager = prcSession.GetDocumentManager();IDocumentQuery docQuery = docManager.CreateQuery(iFolderID);docQuery.SetShowUnapproved(false);IObjectQuery queryResults = docQuery.Execute()
