Access Denied in Account Manager after upgrading from v7 to 8.5.1

I have this error message when trying to edit the user under Account manager after the upgrade. Everything else seem to be working fine.


Anyone know what's going on?

  •  Seems like the reports folder is missing or a permissions issue to that folder. Are you clicking on the admin acct? Was this a migration or straight upgrade? Also, which version of 7 did you upgrade from? You need to upgrade from at least 7.8.5 for compatibility issues.

  • Mark, thanks for the advice! It has been resolved.


     I did a comparison btw permission for Reports & Report Old and added "Users" to Reports and that works. Apparently, the orion v8 upgrade process did not set the permission rights correctly.
