Symptom

  • Some end users cannot delete comments on dimension cells within a planning application.
  • Users can write new comments but cannot delete any comments, including their own.
  • Error message: "Please ensure current user has the required permissions to delete dimension comments." Correlation ID: 1001009373394024b332259136943042

Environment

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Attempt to delete a comment on a dimension cell within a planning story/application.
  2. Observe the error message: "Please ensure current user has the required permissions to delete dimension comments."

Cause

Missing or incomplete permission combination across the required authorization layers (tenant, model, and story), with a missing model-level permission identified.

Resolution

  1. Verify tenant role permissions:
    • Ensure the user's role has Read, Create, and Delete permissions on the Comment object.
  2. Verify model permissions:
    • Ensure the planning model grants Add Comment, View Comment, and Delete Comment (for all relevant dimension member combinations).
    • If Data Access Control (DAC) is enabled, also verify that the affected users have the required write access to the relevant data intersections.
  3. Verify story permissions:
    • In Share/Custom Access for the story, ensure Add Comment, View Comment, and Delete Comment are granted.
  4. Apply any missing permissions and refresh the story.
