Products

• Clarity PPM On Premise
• Clarity PPM SaaS

Issue/Introduction

An user with no Project Edit Management rights can not set tasks as Starred on the Timesheet Select Tasks grid. The app-ca.log or developer tools recall the following error:  API-1007 : You are not authorized to process request. Contact your system administrator for necessary security rights.  

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Create a user and provide the following rights:
   
   • Project Management - Tiles Navigate
   • Project Management - Navigate
   • Projects - Navigate
   • Tasks - Navigate
   • Timesheets - Navigate
2. As an admin user create a project
3. Add the resource created in step 1 to the Project Staff tab
4. Create a task and assign him to the task
5. Login as the user we created for the test
6. Go to MUX > Timesheets > Open a timesheet > Add Tasks > Select Tasks 
7. Add the Starred column to the view
8. Mark the task as Starred on the grid view.
9. Refresh the page

Expected Results: The task to be marked as Starred
Actual Results: The task was not marked as Starred

app-ca.log recalls the following errors:

Environment

Any Clarity release

Cause

This is caused by DE168260

Resolution

In Clarity 16.3.2 a Toast message has been added to inform users there is an issue with permissions.

The application requires the following access rights in all current Clarity releases::

• In order to be able to mark a Project Task as Starred the following access right is needed: Project - View Tasks - All
• In order to be able to mark a Custom investment Task as Starred the following access right is needed: Project - Edit Assigned Tasks - All

After a careful review, this functionality will not be changed at this stage.

Please attend the Product Management Office Hours to discuss further plans on this.
