Being forced to forum login page when accessing datamanager in code

[tblancha]

Hello,

When trying to use $newuser =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY);
in code, I'm forced to the screen that has the message "You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to several reasons: " <blah> <blah>

Then if I log into my forum as admin then the code in my script runs.


But I'm attempting to write code to automatically work with users and their settings.

Why am I being forced to this "login" screen? I did make sure the setting to allow user registrations is set to "yes"


Thanks for any help you can provide.
