* with Flash Operator Panel

hello all
i’m trying to configure the Flash Operator Panel to work with asterisk
setting it up went well, i configured it to point to the local loop since i have both asterisk and FOP on the same machine, but i’m encountering a problem when starting the FOP server… the connection is established with asterisk, but for certain commands asterisk is denying access, the commands’ IDs sent by FOP server are:
127.0.0.1 -> ActionID: parkedcalls
127.0.0.1 -> ActionID: meetme_10
127.0.0.1 -> ActionID: astdb-DND-SIP/left
127.0.0.1 -> Command: sip show peers
127.0.0.1 -> ActionID: iaxpeers
127.0.0.1 -> ActionID: sccppeers

for all the above, asterisk returns the following response:
127.0.0.1 <- Response: Error
127.0.0.1 <- ActionID: sccppeers ;of course the action ID in the response isn’t the same for every command
127.0.0.1 <- Message: Permission denied
127.0.0.1 <- Server: 0

any idea what could be going wrong?
note that FOP was able to retrieve sip peer information without errors. i also state that i will only be using the sip channels
thanks
