Windchill Global Attribute

I can not create a Global Attribute in my 10.1 M040 Instance. It has been a few months since I last did so, but have no idea what changed since then that will not let me do so? I log in as wcadmin, go to Type and Attribute Management and try and create an attribute named GreenTags. This is the error I receive. I would think that the wcadmin should have the authority as before, what should I look at to see if it is a rights issue or something else?

Sorry if I'm sending you on a wilde goose chase, but the error looks like access control.

Try adding yourself to all of these groups:

Administrators

WorkflowAdministrators

Type Administrators

Attribute Administrators

then refreshing your page, and trying again.

If that doesn't work, then I'd log a support ticket. I have seen errors like the one you are showing when I was not a member of one of these special groups, but I would have thought "Attribute Administrators" or at least "Administrators" would do it for you.

I've run into something similar and had to clear my browser cache, including cookies, but I was using Internet Explorer. Not sure if Chrome has the same thing.

Thanks Theresa for the input. Unfortunately, that didn't fix the problem. I find the more and more I try and use Windchill, the more and more I find it is harder and harder to do the simpilest things.

My guess is that you are not a member of the Attribute Administrators group. It is a special, out of the box group that even if you are a Site or Org Admin you still need to be a member of to edit this kind of thing in the Type and Attribute Manager.

"Attribute Administrators"

...Those who can create Attributes and Units
