Permissions to Create Alert

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Micahel Jaynes 480

I have a customer service that would like to create an alert on the status of a production order. This role has read only access to Production Orders. He gets the message "Insufficient Rights for user XXXX."

I am testing this and have given full control to the menu item, form, and table for Production Orders. I cannot get the alert to work. Users in this role can create alerts in Sales. The Production People can create alerts in Production Orders.

What am I missing here? I followed the steps in this article already. arbelatech.com/.../why-cant-i-create-an-alert-rule-for-a-user-who-has-access-to-the-trigger

    Benj where were you 2 years ago, that worked like a charm once I figured out how to do it, since I am not a developer.  Thanks soo much.

    Issue is caused by class EventSecurity, method isFilterAccessible.


    To find out which table access is missing you can change this method in a TEST environment to:

    public boolean isFilterAccessible(Query   query)
    {
        QueryBuildDataSource    qbds;
        Counter                 i;

        for (i=1;i<=query.dataSourceCount();i++)
        {
            qbds=query.dataSourceNo(i);
            if (! this.isTableAccessible(qbds.table()))
            {
                info(tableId2name(qbds.table()));
                //return false;
            }
        }

        return true;
    }

    RE: Permissions to Create Alert

    I ended up narrowing down the tables I needed to add to a new role. Once I added these tables, my purchasing user could create alert rules for the PurchLine table based on items.

    CFOPTable_BR

    NGPCodesTable_FR

    PurchCommitmentHeader_PSN

    PurchCommitmentLine_PSN

    Tax1099Fields

    TaxWithholdItemGroupHeading_TH

    Not sure if anyone has a better way of doing this, but what I did is added a bunch of canned AX roles to a test user to find out which role(s) gave me access to create the alert. Once I had the roles, I started copying blocks of duties from those roles to my test role with intentions of narrowing down which duties gave me permission. When the couple duties were singled out, I started removing blocks of privileges from the duties to see what privileges actually gave the user access to create the alerts. Eventually, I was left with 5 privileges. I then overrode blocks of table access in those privileges to pinpoint the exact tables needed for my user to create alert rules.

    Hey Amy, I think I found the blog post.

    arbelatech.com/why-cant-i-create-an-alert-rule-for-a-user-who-has-access-to-the-trigger

    I will check it out and see what I can do.

    Hi Adam no sadly it was not random.  I found a blog that appears to be not online anymore. It was talking about the alerts and the security being a bug and not to be fixed until R3.  I wish the blog was still there.  It was attached to this community post.

    Hi Amy, thanks for reassuring I'm not the only one! How did you come across those tables? You can't just be randomly adding tables to a role, are you? Did you have some sort of method?

    Hi Adam annoying is not the word for this.  I have the same issues at my company as well.  I had to create a custom role and give access to many tables to accommodate this issue.  BankBillofExchangeTmp, CompanyInfo, CreditCardCust, CreditCardCustNumber, CreditCardProcessorSecurity, CustAgingReportTMP, CustVendOutTemp.  I also had to add many duties to the role CustInvoiceAndCashPolicyInquire, DirAddressBookReferenceDataInquire, It was painful to test but just keep adding stuff to your role.  I know none of them are related to the Product but that's what did the trick for me.  Good luck!

    Has anyone figured this out yet? I have been struggling with this multiple times now over the past 2 years. Our buyers want to setup item based alerts on the PurchLine table, and when clicking OK to save the alert, we get the Insufficient rights for user XXXX error. We have some homemade purchasing roles that we use, but even when I change my test user to have only inherent AX purchasing roles (Buying agent, Purchasing Agent, Purchasing Manager), the same error message is thrown.

    Can anyone shed some light on this? It has been very irritating to say the least!
