Administrator does not have permission to Things Collection Permissions

I am currently in Things Collection Permissions and whenever I click Edit I get a message 'You do not have the permission to edit Things permissions'.

Is there something I'm missing? I believe the Administrator should be able to makes these changes.


Thanks,

Ayan

All,

Thanks for you help. It seemed to fix itself after I restarted Thingworx server.

But I will continue to investigate the root cause of this behaviour and post it here if I find a reason.

Hi Ayanava, could you please share which version of ThingWorx are you working with and in which context are you attempting to edit it? What's the use case?

Hey Sushant,

I am using ThingWorx 8.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by context here, but I can explain what I am trying to do-

I have created an UserGroup and I want users in that group to be able to (let's say) create Things. So I opened ThingWorx from the Administrator login and went ahead to edit Things Collection permission to provide my UserGroup with a Design Time Create permission. But I was not able to edit.

Hope that clears it out.

An admin User surely should be able to set collection level permissions of Things.

Best guesses :

1) You are logged in as User who many not actually be part of Administrator Group.

or

2) Long Shot : Your ThingWorx upgrade to 8 is messed up some how.

If you change the collection permission the user cannot see this immediately in composer. You need to do a reload of the composer to see the change. This information is cached and not updated. After the reload the user should see the + sign beside the Object type. I have uploaded a new video regarding ThingWorx and Multi-Tenancy to youtube just some days ago. This should explain the basics quite well.
