Issue/Introduction

Projects cannot be created from a template in the new UX.

Steps to reproduce -

Navigate to either the project list page or the project tile page.
Select 'New from Template'
Select any template
Enter project name
Click create

Expected: Project creation initiated
Actual: Red banner at top of page reads 'failed to create project' and no project is generated.

When this occurs, the logs may throw an error similar to:

ERROR 2020-06-08 12:42:40,842 [http-nio-8080-exec-559] ppm.rest (clarity:<user>:11189499__66B6540F-B569-454C-8708-ADEB37195111:PPM_REST_API) The current user '<user>' doesn't have permission on 'assgn_pool'

OR

ERROR 2020-06-08 12:42:40,842 [http-nio-8080-exec-559] ppm.rest (clarity:<user>:11189499__66B6540F-B569-454C-8708-ADEB37195111:PPM_REST_API) The current user '<user>' doesn't have permission on 'is_template"

Environment

Release : 15.9.1

Cause

This is due to the missing security access over the fields that are set to secure on the project object.

Resolution

Grant a group that the user is part of View or Edit rights over the Resource Pool field in the new UX under Administration - Attributes.- Template> Details flyout > "Access Edit " and "Access View" can be used to add the desired security access group.

Additional Information

Important:

If the attribute is_template is set to secure and no access rights are provided, the system will not let you create a project using the option
