Issue/Introduction

Specific users are getting the following error when creating a project form template:

API-1019 : Could not process the request due to internal error.

This happens to users with limited access rights and when at project creation the user sets the Project Manager to be someone else than him/her

The user does have Project View rights and Resource Book rights

app-ca.log file shows the following errors

Environment

Any Clarity release

Cause

The user does not have permission to add team members to the target project

Resolution

Grant the Project Edit All access right to the affected users or ensure the user is set as Project Manager at creation and change the Manager afterward.

To add resources as Staff, the user must have project edit rights.

Being a project manager of a project implicitly grants project edition rights. If someone else is to be set as a manager, then the user that creates the project must have explicit edit rights over projects for the project creation form a template to be successful

In 16.2.2 the toast message in MUX has been updated to:

PRJ-10007: You do not have the rights to add team members to this investment.

The app-ca.log file will show the following:
