Granting access to CWA

We are preparing to switch our Query Studio users to the CWA tool.  I have followed instructions to enable the CWA product for these users but when they choose CWA from the Launch menu and then select a package, CWA opens but there is no Source available.  As an Administrator, I am not experiencing this issue.  But my "test user", which is setup as a Query User is experiencing this issue.  I have found and followed some ibm aids on how to grant access (via the User Profiles) but that is currently how my test user is set up, so I'm not sure what is wrong. 

Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any insight?

We are on Cognos 10.2.1.

Solution:  In order for users to actually be able to create within CWA, not only do you have to follow the documentation by IBM to give execute and traverse access to Report Studio capabilities, but also to the create/delete property under Report Studio Capabilities.
