Title: Permission Setup
Post by: okh310 on 20 Jun 2019 08:04:18 AM
Hi All -

I seem to be missing a lot of data module functions in my drop down menu.  For example, I do not see the "Set Data Security" option when I go to the table context menu.  I also can't create a copy of the table, create a view, create joined view, union of tables, etc etc. 

The only things I see when I select a table in my data module are: create relationship, manage filters, create calc, rename, hide, remove, properties.

I am an admin in the system.  Does anyone know why I can't see all these options?

Thanks!

This is new in version 11.1.  Please check your version.

i.   Your immediate concern about setting data security.
What version of CA are you using?  Data security is new for 11.1.x.

The menu items you mention are for a query subject in the module tree.

You need to open the source view pane in order to set data security.  You need to have write access to the data source connection in order to see the menu item as the data security settings will be written into the data server so that the data security will be consistent for all modules which use the data server.

ii.  Your other missing functions.
What other functions are you looking for and not finding?
