Privileges to run Job Description report

Hi David,

you can specify this in the report settings.

I haven't changed the settings and they say that it is available in connect to users.

The last menu on the left allows you to restrict the access to user groups and to ppl.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Hi Veronika, 

Thank you very much for your answer. I will review with the user why she cannot see that report. Thanks!

Hi David,

One thing that came to my mind- if you check the script, there is one line that you may need to put to "true"

const SHOW_DIALOGS_IN_CONNECT = true;  // Show dialogs in ARIS Connect - Default=false (BLUE-12274)

It is line 16 in the report.

Best,

Veronika

Thanks Veronika! I´ve updated the script as suggested but user still cannot see the Job Description Generation report though so have run it for her now. Will need to investigate further if there is any unexpected constraints somewhere... Thansks for now! 

Hello David,

if all the script options are set as in Veronika's image, the "Writes to DB" might block users with read-only access to your DB, i.e. Connect viewers.

For the script to work correctly this option is not needed as it only evaluates org. objects.

Unfortunately I found in Aris 10 releases >SR4 that standard report scripts were delivered with inconsistent settings.

Thanks Martin and Veronika et al., 

Just got an answer from SAG Support team with the following: 

<<R&D have analysed the issue and found that it's not possible to make it available to Connect viewers.
However you are right: this restriction is not documented at all.
R&D are aware of that and the documentation will be updated to reflect the dependencies/ restrictions of reports and macros>>

Therefore seems the Job Descriptions report is and will not be available to Connect users :-( 

Thanks all. 

Hello David,

it's not possible to make it available to Connect viewers.

that is rather a strange explanation. Maybe R&D are afraid of performance issues when evaluating to many org. objects and their connections in Connect. But a Connect Viewer user can only select single objects or one model at a time from the Portal View to execute this report.

If you look up the source the script is well defined to run in Connect with a simplified dialog compared to Architect/Designer. But it seems available only with a Connect Designer license, because it is restricted further in the script info source file.

Write me an email if wish to make theis script available to Connect Viewers as well.

Regards, Martin

Thanks Martin,

I will leave it as is and have run the JD´s myself for the users now. Note we´re on SR16 and hoping they will update their documentation for next release. Thanks!
