IJ25183: SECURITY GROUP ACCESS TO REPAIR FACILITIES NOT WORKING PROPERLY WHEN INDEPENDENT FLAG FOR SECURITY GROUP IS CHECKED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ERROR DESCRIPTION:Ø
  Problem Description:
  When using a group that has Independent flag set, not seeing
  all the repair facilities when flag set to see all. You need to
  enter the individual sites. If you uncheck the Independent of
  other groups flag, you can see them all.
  
  Security settings for repair facility should follow the combine
  or not-combine rule dictated by the security group's
  "Independent of other groups" flag.
  
  It should show all when Authorize Group for All Repair
  Facilities = Y
  
  Steps to recreate:
  1. Repair Facilities are enabled in Organizations from Work
  Order Options (EAGLENA)
  2. Set up Locations(BEDREP and FLEETREP) and flag them as
  Repair Facilities in FLEET and BEDFORD sites.
  3. Create new Security Group: FLEETSUP
  a. Independent of Other Groups = Y
  b. Site Access = BEDFORD, FLEET
  c. Repair Facilities = Authorize Group for All Repair
  Facilities = Y and Allow Access to Records That Do Not Have a
  Repair Facility = Y
  d. Grant full access to Locations, Asset, Workorders
  4. Create new user TESTER and add to the FLEETSUP group
  4. Log in to Maximo as user TESTER of the FLEET SUPERVISORS
  group. The user is a member of other
  security groups; none are Independent.
  5. Open Assets and bring up asset record. Select a Repair
  Facility. The list of repair facilities
  that opens has no locations to select from. It is expected the
  BEDREP and FLEETREP set up in #2 above to be listed.
  
  If you change the FLEETSUP group and uncheck the Independent of
  other groups flag and repeat test, you will see the the repair
  facilities now
  
  
  Results:
  Not seeing all the repair facilities that should be displayed
  
  Expected Results:
  All Repair facilities should display in look up
