Issue: A user gets the error message You are not authorized to take this action when they attempt to open the link to view or edit a req that was eLinked to them.

Cause: The user’s user type does not have access to view or edit reqs that they do not have a ‘my req’ relationship to. The user’s user type had access to view ‘My Reqs’ but not ‘All Reqs’.

Resolution: The user must be added to the req team to be granted the "my req" relationship or the user type must be updated to allow all users to view all reqs, regardless of the "my req" relationship. The resolution depends on your organization's recruitment process and policies.

  1. To allow users to view or edit all reqs, add the appropriate Reqs user privileges to the user. For more information on adding user privileges, see User Type Management.

  2. To add the user to the req team, in BrassRing access the req, and select Edit. Add the user to the req team field and select Save. For more information on accessing reqs, see Access and Initiate Reqs.
