Hi,

What are the required permissions for a user to use the Asset reports function?

I was not able to make other users than admin to use these reports.

Any inputs are welcome.

Thanks

See this section "Permissions Needed for Running Reports" located here:

I guess, All you need is "Read", "Write" permission for any user to run these reports. If your user is a super user (Like admin) then set "Read ACL" & "Write ACL" access as well.

Hi @smacdonald2008, are these permission the same for asset reports?

@Jitendra, I tried with only read permission, but it didn't work. When the user tries to open an addition report it breaks the page with a NullPointerException.

I checked the JSP that was breaking and what was causing the problem was this block of code:

///libs/dam/gui/components/admin/reports/customcolumnmodal/customcolumnmodal.jsp ModifiableValueMap columnVM = column.adaptTo(ModifiableValueMap.class);

So, I needed to add modify permission in the columns for Asset Reports. Now the reports are opening but not fulling working. The CSV generation is not working yet. I think it should any other permission issue. I am still checking.

I would not like to put the user in the administrators group only because of the reports.

Thanks

Hi @franciscoribeir - were you able to find a solution for this. I am currently doing research on how to give non-administrators access to reports.

Thank you!
