Peter and others,

I have encountered this situation with support staff in our installation 
(ARS7.1/ITSM7.1), thankfully only intermittently.  And, last occurrence was a 
few months back (wow, I could be talking entirely too soon!).

Basically, the user has effectively lost General Access, regardless of entries 
in their CTM:People , User, or People Permission Groups records.  I cannot 
confirm the exact mechanism of this failure, though cache misbehavior certainly 
fits the symptoms--but the following actions are recommended, in this order 
(least effort first):

(least effort) Revise the license type.  Where a fixed-license user displays 
this behavior, I do the following:
   * revert to floating license (ARS and ALL applications), in CTM:People
   * SAVE the record after this modification and wait approximately 15 minutes
   * restore FIXED licenses for ARS/apps as previous state, and save again
   * have user log completely out of system (not just close browser) , and have 
a MidTier user completely flush browser.
Of course, if user holds floating license, I force to 'fixed', then revert to 
'float'; the vast majority of situations we have encountered were for floating 
licenses, and function restored by this step.

If 'least effort' fails:
(more effort)  Resequence group permissions in the User form, making certain to 
save this record just BEFORE modifying General Access, and again AFTER 
re-adding or re-sequencing GA. Again, results may take 15-30 minutes to be 
visible to user--and MidTier user should do a browser cleanse.

If 'more effort' fails:
(more drastic)  Record all pertinent accesses, permissions, support-groups and 
roles, and so on.  
  * then change account to Non-Support, and SAVE the change.
  * change account back to Support Staff, using recorded notes.  I have never 
seen a further induced failure from 
    re-using their previous account ID.

If 'more drastic' fails, last resort:
(most drastic)  Record all information as above.
  * change account to Non Support.
  * Mark account for deletion, and actually delete record.
  * re-create account by your normal procedures using recorded notes.

I have had to use this escalated procedure twice in three years; in both 
situations, the lesser three methods failed to restore General Access.

Situation should not happen this way--but we have seen it roughly 20 times in 
three years.

Hi,

The only thing left to do is look at the log and see if the fields being pushed 
are NULL or if there is data there, then you know its a permissions issue.

Just as a note, General Access is not one that can be found in the drop down so 
do double check it is there.

Good luck
Kind regards

Hi,
I'm sorry but the user has the correct permissions (I checked CTM: People 
Permission Group). this is really to funny! Do you have any good ideas? Thanks 
again ...
Peter
