Non-Admin User SecurityRefresh

[ryanr]

I have security set by rules in parts of my TM1 application, and need a secuity refresh for users to be able to view new items I give them access to.

I recently created a utility to allow them to create custom store sets, but they can't view them until a security refresh is performed, which they still have to ask me to do. Is there a way to get them to trigger something that runs that security refresh without me giving them security admin rights? I'm thinking I'm going to have to write something custom with the API, but I thought I would ask before I go down that rabbit hole.


Thanks in advance

Or. more simply, give them an action button which runs a TI that executes the SecurityRefresh command. The TI runs with Admin rights, even if the user who triggered it doesn't have them.

Just in addition to Alan's reply, you will need to right-click on the TI process and select "security access" in addition to giving the users access to run it. As of version 9.4 (or maybe 9.5?) processes run by a non-admin user will run with "data admin" access, so if you want it to be able to change security you need to enable that option for the process.

I was aware of the SecurityRefresh command, but did not realize I could have a non-admin user run a process with that command in it! Thank you both!
