User without "Create and edit users and groups" privilege can edit users and groups in Workstation 10.11


Diqing Shen

Senior Manager, Cloud Support • MicroStrategy


Within MicroStrategy Workstation 10.11, some of our users have been experiencing an issue with editing privileges within the Developer tool. When users are creating a user without the specific privilege, "Create and edit users and groups". If users are created without this privilege in Developer, it seems they still have the opportunity to edit users and group regardless. This article goes through the workflow and next steps. Get started!
