   • Advanced Reporting - Navigate

6. Run the Load Data Warehouse Access Rights Job
7. Log in as user ABC and navigate to Advanced Reporting
8. From the Library, click on Test_adhoc_view

Result: The below error message is thrown: 
Error Message: org.springframework.security.access.AccessDeniedException: Access is denied

Environment

Clarity - All Versions

Cause

You are given access from Clarity to view all the Adhoc views and reports, but you are not provided access to view the data in the project management domain.

Resolution

You need to be assigned to the role csk_role_project_management if you are supposed to view the data in the Project Management domain. The same applies to the other management domains. This will allow you to view data in those management domains.
