Reproducing the Issue

Cause

  • The "User Search" permission is not granted in Role-Based Permissions.

  2. After granting the permission, please try opening the session. Remember NOT to restrict target for owner in Calibration template via Admin Center > Manage Calibration Template > Advanced > Restrict Calibration Role Access by Target Population.
  3. If the User Search permission is already granted, please check the target population and ensure that the subjects of the session are included in the target population. Tip: You can use the User Role Search tool to check if the user accessing the calibration session has User Search permission and if subjects are included in their target population.

NOTES:

  1. The user search permission is not specific for Calibration.
  2. It is a Platform required permission.
  3. Without this permission, you are not able to get User's information, which means you cannot retrieve user information when you open a session.
  4. To open a Calibration session, the minimum permission is that a role has "Read" permission, which is configured in Manage Calibration Settings.
