Access rights for users of "Members" group?

I have a test user account, who is in the group "Members" with the default permission level of "Contribute". I created two custom aspx pages in Visual Studio, that are stored in the _layouts directory. How is it possible that this user account can view one of those pages, but not the other? One page has a single button on it and the other has a gridview, displaying list items. He can view the page with the gridview, but not the page with a single button. Anyone has an idea why? Oh, and he is also prohibited from viewing a custom web-part written in Visual Studio, for some reason.

Ok based on your comments it sounds like you are probably accessing either the Group itself and the current user doesn't have access to view the members of the group. Note it may also be something else in your code behind that the current user doesn't have permission to do. Typically the access denied page happens without an exception so you'll have to look at the SharePoint ULS logs for more information on the error. (Technically it aborts the normal page rendering life cycle and redirects the user to the Access Denied page.)

ULS logs are found in the 12 hive under the LOGS subdirectory. I would suggest using the ULS Viewer instead of trying to visually parse through the logs with NotePad (there's a lot there).
