FIX PROPOSALS

  1. User should not receive an error clicking on a link, the link should be disabled if the User does not have security to view the Page.
  2. This specific scenario can be fixed by updating the dspMonitor User WebApp Group should include the Chart Histogram page
  3. Additional "Metric" pages should be included in the dspMonitor User WebApp Group. dspMonitor Users should be able to have read only access to the pages highlighted in yellow in the attache file named "Monitor Pages Missing from User Group"

    Thank you for highlighting this issue. I will ensure that our PM for the DSP solution is aware of this as we are updating the security framework in the 7.1 release.
