Resolution
Generative AI privilege with Execute permission is needed for user to user AI-Assisted features.
Reference:
Generative AI Privilege
To use AI-Assisted features, users need to have a role that has the Execute permission on the Generative AI privilege.
Standard application roles, like Planning Reporter and Modeler, include this privilege but the Execute permission is not granted by default. You can use such roles as templates for creating custom roles and grant the Execute permission on the Generative AI privilege.
For more information about role-based permissions, see Permissions.
- You can grant the Execute permission on the Generative AI privilege for roles created for the following license types: Business Intelligence, Planning Standard, and Planning Professional.
- After user role/permission is changed, browser refresh is required.
