Hi @AP_10750193 

What Windchill version do you use?

I guess that there can be some license issue that user is not member of the right license group.

Hello @HelesicPetr ,

I am using 12.1

And please find below image I can able to see it using admin access.

@Fadel  FYI

Hi @AP_10750193 

Sure, the admin can be part of a group that has an access. Or has an access based on admin group that has full control ACL settings

Your user can not have the right to access that function.

enable below logger for validator com.ptc.windchill.esi.validators.AssociateDistributionTargetsActionValidator to DEBUG and check the logs generally the check is done for :

 
 Check if user has read permission for ESI Target object 
 Check if user is a site administrator 
 Check if user belongs to one of the group specified in preference 'Enable ability to associate and remove
 distribution targets'

Perhaps the user is not a member of one of the ESI groups?

Hello,

In the OOTB, there are two Site level groups, ESI Authors and ESI Administrators.

IIRC, Authors can assign distribution targets and Administrators can manually publish.

You can add users to these groups to convey the rights.

You might want to consider creating Org level groups and adding them to the sight level groups, as user membership is easier to manage at the Org level groups page.
