How to enable External data

Hi all,

We need to enable the External Data feature to a group, not only the Directory Adminstrators.

I did the steps below:

a) log in as an administrative user;
b) launch the Admin Console;
c) go to the Security tab;
d) select 'capabilities' on the left;
e) scroll through until you see 'Report Studio' and click on it;
f) set the properties of the 'Allow External Data' capability;
g) go to the Permissions tab;
h) add the user group / user and grant Traverse / Execute rights;

When we log in with the usergroup / user, I was expecting the External data enabled, but still no green icon.

What kind of step am I missing?
