Issue when saving files to the Spotfire library due to insufficient permissions or privileges. (Error message is "You do not have sufficient privileges for this action.")

Issue when saving files to the Spotfire library due to insufficient permissions or privileges. (Error message is "You do not have sufficient privileges for this action.")

Description:
Spotfire user licenses and library folder permissions determine where a file can be saved and by whom. To publish (save to the library) a Spotfire analysis that contains a script or custom query, the user must have Script Author or Custom Query Author rights granted. 

Symptoms:

When a user with only Spotfire Administrator or Library Administrator permissions attempts to save a Spotfire analysis that contains a script or custom query to the Spotfire library, this action will trigger the following stack trace:

Error message: Could not publish Test_Data_Report.

LibraryException at Spotfire.Dxp.Framework:

Cause:
The Spotfire error message states that the user does not have sufficient privileges. The Spotfire analysis contains an untrusted script or a custom query, so the user's Spotfire username needs to be granted permissions that allow saving such an analysis (DXP file) to the Spotfire library, for this action to be allowed. There are two resolution steps for this issue. Either one or both can be used to resolve the issue depending upon what the analysis contains (script or custom query) .

Resolution 1:
In order to save a new file containing a script, the user must have permission to :

- Write to the folder.
- Have a license to add new files.
- Have script admin group access. 

Add the group or user to the "Script Author" group. This is not enabled for administrators by default. Refer to the attached screenshot (Filename: Script_Author_Group.JPG).

Resolution 2:
In order to save a new file containing a custom query, the user must have permission to:

- Write to the folder.
- Have a license to add new files.
- Need to be member of "Customer Query Author" group.

Add the group or user to the "Customer Query Author" group. Refer to the attached screenshot (Filename: Custom_Query_Author_Group.JPG).
