Resolution

To correct this behavior,you have to change the role of the user or to create a new role with the permissions required. To perform both changes it is required to:

  1. Access the Admin on the Analytics screen.
  2. Select the "Role Maintenance" and change the role or create a new one.

To confirm which role the user has it is possible to go to the user maintenance and search for the user. See referenced KBAs for further information.
