SMS: Read/View Rights at Instance Level Not Providing Access (226505)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q226505

SYMPTOMS

Users granted read, read resource, and view collected files rights only to a specific collection at the instance level are unable to view hardware, hardware history, software inventory, or collected files information for any members of that collection through Resource Explorer. Resource Explorer launches successfully, but no data is displayed except for Last Scan Date under Last Software Scan.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, grant the users read and read resource rights at the collection class level.

Note that this will give the users the ability to view inventory for all collections.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
