Local fix
Either do not use LDAP as an authentication method, or, verify that the LDAP users defined in the veiwer group are allowed to temporarily have this elevated privilege
Problem summary
Due to this implication of viewers being users when LDAP is enabled, viewers can do everything that normal users can do. Keeping this in mind, verify that your appliance viewers, under the "viewer" group, are trusted as users. Alternatively, disable LDAP authentication.
