More security in Schedule Update Merged

Today, every user that can create a schedule update, see (that is ok) and can delete or modify (that is wrong) any scedule update.

Could we add the same security as folder? So you can only modify or delete a schedule update based on a document you have the right to modify ?

    Good idea, we have a similar request. In other tools we have an admin console where the admins can see/update any schedule but in the folders the end users can see they can schedule/refresh their own content. Basically I think what we would need it to expand the options when we click the three dots to the right of a report and have an option for setup a scheduled update for this DXP and an option for refresh the cache for this DXP.

    Some DHB are too big to be used without SU. We have 30 Business Units having their own Debelopper, and creating their own dashboards. They need to be independant to SU a document that is too long to open otherwise. It's not everyone, only 1 or 2 key user of each business Unit.

    What I was trying to say is that you brought this problem upon yourself. By default no users can change Scheduled Updates. By giving people access to do that you have generated this issue. In fact the only way to allow users to change Scheduled Updates is to give them Web Player Administrator access which clearly isn't something regular users should have. Why do you need users to create SUs? On most installations administrators create SUs on behalf of users. So you are using the product in a way it wasn't intended. This will get even more confusing once you update to 7.5 or greater as the scheduling and routing interface is a lot more complex than the <7.5 SU admin screen. You should look at creating a custom Web Page and use the Scheduled Updates Web Services API to allow users to submit SU requests. You could then control the security of this custom Web page.

    Hello

    I don't understand your answer.

    Our team can't create schedule update for all users. So we gave the rights to key user (and not all user).

    But those key user can delete other key users schedule update, and that is not normal.

    This is not by default! You are giving people Administration access. This is not by design.
