    ****************************************************************
    In the application collections page, a user
    will get an 'Access denied' error in the logs when trying to
    interact with Liberty Advisor Summary column in the console
    even if they have the appropriate user role. No error shows up
    in the administrative console, but the Liberty Advisor Summary
    column doesn't populate.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The authentication specification for the servlet and admin
    command that are called to populate the Liberty Advisor
    Summary column were modify to prevent this issue.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.5.16 and 9.0.5.1.  Please refer to the
