When using Asset Advisor, drilling into an asset and viewing the Asset Detail page, my regular (Maintenance Engineer) users get the following error:
Not authorized for ServiceInvoke on GetEffectiveMenu in 3DS.PTC.SCA.SCO.AssetMonitor.AssetDetail.ActionMenu]
The administrators do not have this problem. Are special permissions required for the Action Menu? There is also a service PTC.SCA.SCO.AssetMonitor.AssetDetail.AssetDetailServiceController
Which fails when you call GetMenu with the following error:
Unable to Invoke Service GetMenu on PTC.SCA.SCO.AssetMonitor.AssetDetail.AssetDetailServiceController : null]
I verified that the service is getting the correct input arguments, but there is some deeper permission issue here.
Solved! Go to Solution.
This problem was cause by a "ghost" thing. I ran a delete on a few assets that were generating error messages when I hit the page, but did not exist. Somehow asset advisor holds on to a reference to things that were removed via the platform.
Hi Ben.
For the first concern around the Asset Details page, we are going to create a case and will then need to schedule a WebEx so we can get a better understanding of the issue.
In regard to the 2nd issue, it appears that no inputs are being passed to the GetMenu service, since it's returning a null, though you indicated you had validated the inputs that are being passed. Is this working for Administrators or is everyone experiencing this issue? What user is calling the Service?
