Permissions for Asset Detail Menu

[bmellish]

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.

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?

Regards.

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.
