Save of an Advanced Find causes "Assignee has insufficient privileges"

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Observed symptoms:

When clicking Save of Save As button in any Advanced Find, an error message appears: "Assignee has insufficient privileges".

The user was able to save custom views previously. Since the problem has appeared, the user has never been able to save a custom view anymore.

The problem is observed with any entity.

The user uses Internet Explorer 11.

This is in Dynamics CRM 2016 on premise.

Error log file:

    Hello Phil.

    Great, can you verify my answer?

    Yes, your users need this privilege for mobile access. Please have a look to this blog entry:

    Thank you. That fixed the problem.

    We are surprised however. This privilege has been given to nobody till now. Yet, nobody complained till recently. Any idea what could have caused the situation to change?

    Is this somehow linked to mobile access?

    greetz,

    Phil

    Hello Phil.

    Please verify that one of the secroles the user has assigned to grants the privilege "User Application Metadata". You can find this privilege under tab "Customizations".

    Kind regards,

    Karsten
