Asset Management Suite

I am getting an error that I do not have the permissions to perform a Renew Software License from the Right-Click menu in the Software License menu. I have added the Roles - Symantec Software Librarian, Asset Manager, CMDB Manager. None of these allow me to perfom the function. So far only Symantec Administrator will let me do this.

How do I find out what Roles and Permissions are required to perform a Renew Software License task?

Thanks,

I opened a case for this issue. As it turns out the problem is a defect in the code. The user must be in the Symantec Administrator role for this contact function to work. The issue has been addressed by development in the 7.5 release (when it comes out).

Has no one else run into this problem with using the Contract Function > Renew and Upgrade software license, or are all your users in the Administrator role?
