Description:

We created an Action Menu Item to launch one Report from the Project Object General Properties page. The end-user is granted Instance Access Rights for 'Report - Run' for this specific Report.

When the end-user navigates to the Project General Properties page > click 'Actions' menu > the menu item does not appear. If you grant the Global access right 'Report - Run - All' to the end-user, then the item appears.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Login to Clarity as an administrator user
   
   
2. Administration > Studio: Objects > Project > Actions > click 'New' button
   
   Fill out all the details for the Action
   Action Name: Run Investment Status Report
   Action ID: run_myreport
   Type: Report
   Select Report: Investment Status (stock report)
   Scope: Global
   Click 'Save' button
   Fill in values for Required Fields
   Click 'Save and Return' button
   
   

   <Please see attached file for image>

   
   
   
3. Views > Project Properties [Actions Menu] > Click 'General' Menu
   
   Add the 'Run Investment Status Report' action to the General Menu
   
   

   <Please see attached file for image>

   
   
   Click 'Save and Return' button
   
   
4. As the administrator, navigate to Home > Projects > Open a project and see the new item appear as expected because the administrator has global rights to run all reports
   
   

   <Please see attached file for image>

   
   
   
5. Create a user with restricted access rights
   
   Administration > Resources > Click 'New' button
   Fill in values to create Resource ID = resource01 and save
   Navigate to Resource's Access Rights Tab > select 'Instance'
   Click 'Add' button
   (Step 1 of 3) Select 'Job/Report' for the Object
   Click 'Next' button
   (Setp 2 of 3) Select / checkmark 'Report - Run' Access Right
   (Access Right Description: Allows user to run a specific report. The right also allows editing of the scheduled report properties and viewing of the output of the report. This right is dependent on Reports - Access being granted.)
   Click 'Add and Continue' button
   (Step 3 of 3) Select / checkmark 'Investment Status' Report
   Click 'Add' button

6. Now grant Instance Access Rights to 'Resource01' for accessing one project instance
   
   Navigate to Resource's Access Rights Tab > select 'Global'
   Click 'Add' button > Add 'Projects - Navigate' and 'Reports - Access' rights
   
   
7. Logout / Login as 'Resource01'
   
   
8. As 'Resource01' with limited access, the user should have the ability to access the report through Home > Reports and Jobs and also from the Project General Properties > Actions Menu
   
   
9. Home > Reports and Jobs > Jobs (as expected, 'Investment Status' report is available)
   
   

   <Please see attached file for image>

   
   
   
10. Home > Projects > open/click on Project > Click 'Actions' pull-down

Expected Result: To see 'Run Investment Status Report' action item
Actual Result: 'Run Investment Status Report' action item is not available
