Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

While logged in as a Manager role, if a user attempts to modify an object this role does not have access to, the GUI will post a validation error.

Impact

The system posts generic validation errors when Create, Update, Delete actions are initiated by a user without proper permissions. These permissions are not allowed for the Manager, but the GUI makes it appear as if they are.

Conditions

This occurs when users in the Manager role make changes to Datacenter links/servers/prober-pool/Topology.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

The GUI now properly hides or disables the action buttons if a user does not have proper permissions to perform the action.
