Error description

• Attempts to create a saved filter from a collection results in a
  403 (Forbidden) error when the user is only assigned an 'Author'
  role.  The problem can be worked around by assigning an
  administrator role, or modifying the Author role such that it
  includes the permission to save public views.

  This is a permissions issue. The project Administrator role
  is required to save these views. In the Permissions
  configuration it says that the Administrator role has
  permissions to "Save Shared View" and the Author role does
  not. Authors are being restricted from saving even personal
  views.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in the Rational Requirements
  Composer 4.0.3 release.
