I can’t figure out where the access rights to share a filter on a GI is located in the permission settings. 

i  have tried above instructions but my shared filter showing grade out so what step i have to do next ?

 


Is there a way to deny filter access to a select user?


Actually the answer “marked as answer” is for creating filters, not sharing them.  It clearly says to revoke access on the filter is shared setting.  Your indication is that you want to share filters.  I tested before providing that answer so I know how this works.

Correct. That post indicates how to remove access to share filters, reverse that and you know how to enable sharing. There is no need to be an admin to do this.

I did some testing on this and in order to share filters, the user has to have the Administrator role.  Here is a link to help documentation on this.

This is incorrect. See the comment marked as answer.

Hi @Jeff96 

Please follow the below article https://www.crestwood.com/2017/08/12/filters-permissions-in-acumatica/#:~:text=In%20order%20for%20users%20to,edit%2Fremove%20their%20own%20filters.

How to set permissions for filters:

In order for users to be able to create filters in Acumatica, users need permissions to the “Filters” screen (located at System -> Customization -> Work Area -> Manage -> Filters).  Giving the role, Delete rights, makes sure they can add/edit/remove their own filters.  If you want to block users from being able to set a filter as “Shared”, here is what I’d recommend:

  • System -> Customization -> Work Area -> Manage -> Filters    =  Delete
  • System -> Customization -> Work Area -> Manage -> Filters -> Filter Header  = Delete
  • System -> Customization -> Work Area -> Manage -> Filters -> Filter Header -> Is Shared = Revoked

Thanks


HI @Jeff96  

Here is how I did it:

  1. Click the + sign on the Filter Settings
  1. Enter your parameters
  1. Then click Save and Enter the Filter Name
  1. Click Shared and Apply

 

I’m aware of how to crate and share it. There is a user in my company that doesn’t have the option to share, and I’m wondering what permission setting needs to be changed in order to allow that.

I believe they need the customizer role.

Yes, but that doesn’t address my question. See screenshot below where the shared button is grayed out. 

 

Have you created a NEW filter then shared?

 

Correct.

HI @Jeff96 

Have you looked at this post from @TimRodman?

https://www.augforums.com/forums/acumatica-dashboards/acumatica-dashboard-widget-properties-shared-filter-to-apply/#:~:text=A%20Shared%20Filter%20is%20something%20that%20you%20can,button%20highlighted%20here%3A%20Then%20put%20in%20some%20filters.


They have access to filters but not to share it. I want to grant them access to share the filter. 


If the user has access to the screen where the filter is on, they should also have access to the filter. Are you trying to deny filter access to a user?
