Error:

You don’t have security privileges to open the ‘Auditor’ window. Contact your system administrator for assistance.

 Cause:

This message will sometimes occur if security has been changed that affects Auditor’s default security settings.

Resolution:
To resolve this error, please follow these steps:

  1. Run the Re-Add Security Data task to reset the security for Auditor.
    1. Log into Microsoft Dynamics GP (GP) as a user in the Auditor Admin role such as sa or a POWERUSER.
    2. Go to Microsoft Dynamics GP | Tools | Setup | Auditor | Auditor Setup.
    3. Locate the Re-add Security Data task. Depending on what build of Auditor you are using, it is either located on the Troubleshooting tab or in the Setup Menu list.
    4. Click on the Re-add Security Data to run the process.
    5. Log out of GP, and then log back in.
  2. Verify the User has at least one Security Role assigned to them that contains the DEFAULTUSER Task.

    1. Log into Microsoft Dynamics GP (GP) as a user in the Auditor Admin role such as sa or a POWERUSER.
    2. Go to Microsoft Dynamics GP | Tools | Setup | System | User Security.
