Unable to add group to Report Object Structure Security

Troubleshooting


Problem

You are unable to add a group to the list available to utilize a Reporting Object Structure using Maximo Asset Management because that group does not appear in the list.

Symptom

You have an Object Structure to be utilized for Reporting (ROS) It may be an existing one or a new one you have created. You need to give Maximo groups access to this Object Structure utilizing the Set Report Object Structure Security option from Report Administration. When you try to select the group you need, the group is not listed as an option

Cause

The only groups that are listed in the lookup are those that have Create Report security (sigoption) to the application your ROS belongs to. if the group does not have Create Report, they have no ability to create a QBR and therefore do not have access to any ROS. A group must first have Create Report before it can be assigned with privileges to any Object Structure in that application

Diagnosing The Problem

In this example you want to add security to the REP_INVENTORY Object Structure. You click "New Row" and use the lookup for the Group attribute.




However the only group listed is MAXADMIN. This is because no other group has the Create Report sigoption set for this application.

Resolving The Problem

Use the Security Groups application to set Create Report privilege in the appropriate application(s)
