Upgraded to 12.1.3

Applied Patch 9734709

CAUSE

This is expected functionality.

Access to the above Diagnostics sub-menu items can be controlled by the profile Utilities:Diagnostics or by security functions using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Whether or not a sub-menu item is available is checked on an "as-needed" basis by the system when the user selects the submenu item. If the menu item
is not available to the user, the message "Function not available to this responsibility.
Change responsibilities or contact your System Administrator."

 

Please refer to the System Administrator's Guide - Configuration Release 12.1 for more information.

The changes are documented starting at [ page 523 ] and will explain what permission sets can be granted to make the Diagnostics menu available.

 

SOLUTION

1. Change the profile "Utilities : Diagnostics" to Yes at the appropriate level  (User / Responsibility).
2. Clear the cache.
3. Bounce the Apache.
4. Login and Retest the issue.

Alternatively, a permission set containing a permission for that item to a role can be granted, followed by assigning the role to the specific user. 

Please refer to the System Administrator's Guide - Configuration Release 12.1 for more information.

Please refer to the following for creation of a role as needed:
