Issue/Introduction

Delivery options/scheduling missing for a specific Altiris administrator user account when attempting to create a patch management  package delivery policy.

Environment

Release: 8.6

Cause

Missing privileges for the user account or role the user is a member of.

Resolution

Checked the options under Software Update Management Privileges for the user account or desired role. These settings are found in the console under Settings > Security > Account Management > Roles.
