Title: Create Glossary Definition Greyed Out
Post by: kevwatkins on August 16, 2012, 11:42:19 pm

Hello all,

This is my first time in using EA, so please go easy on me :-)

I have been asked to create some Glossary Definitions from the text written in the notes of some of the models we have. When I highlight a word and right click 'Create > Glossary Definition' the option is greyed out.

Does anyone know why this is not enabled? I cannot figure this out.

Thanks in advance!

Actually no idea, but it might be a licensing problem.

One possible reason for this is that you don't have the neccesary security permission to modify the glossary.

Check with the administrator of the EA repository you are using if security is enabled and if so, make sure that the login that you use to open the repository has the permission 'Manage glossary' set.

Btw when EA security is configured to use your windows account you will not have any visual clue that EA is actually checking your security credentials when you open the repository.

regards,

Paulus

Paulus, you were 100% correct. The option was disabled for the administrators group. Thank you very much for your input.
