Problem:

Sign & Close requires full access to the collection object to be submitted to a witness

Solution:

PROBLEM:

ELN error seen on ELN version 11.0.2.

ELN Error message when clicking on an experiment, hitting Sign&Close, choosing a user from witness selection.

ELN exports to a PDF, but when document is filled with password and submitted, an error message pops up:

----------------------------------------------
Error in ENClient
Sorry, the currently logged in user does not have permission to change the privileges of chemistry experiment "................".
Error giving witness (.....) read privilege to signed collection ..........
You may need to set privileges manually using Collection Properties.
OK
----------------------------------------------

SOLUTION:

To solve this issue grant "Full Control" to the user who performs Sign&Close over his own experiments.

Also, "read" access over the user who is performing the Sign&Close operation must be granted to witness user.

Steps to grant "Full Control" permission:

Log in to ELN as an Admin
Go to "Users" folder
Right click on a user
Select 'Collection Properties'
Click on 'Collection Security' tab in the 'user Properties' dialog box
Click on the "Grant" button of the Properties window
Browse and select the current user or a particular experiment of that user
Click "Continue" button on the "Grant Access To User or Group" window
Click on "Grant" and "Close"
Make sure that the "Type of access for user" is set to "Full Control"
Click 'OK' on the user properties window.
