Symptom
When working in MDM iViews, MDM table and field privileges enforced policy is stricter then the one in Data Manager
Other terms
Roles, Permissions, Privileges, iViews
Reason and Prerequisites
In MDM iViews, an MDM role’s field and table privileges (Read, Write) are determined as follows: If in the MDM Console, under Admin -> Role -> Tables and Fields tab, the Read-Only property is enabled for the MDM table (e.g. Products) Access column, then ALL fields located under the table node are assumed to be Read-Only, regardless if any of these fields has a Read/Write setting.
In the Data Manager, a field privileges are determined only based on the field access property, regardless of the table access property setting.
This result in the iView enforcing a stricter policy compared to the Data Manager in the case where the table access is set to be Read-only.
Solution
For achieving similar policy in iViews to the Data Manager, in the MDM Console you need to set the MDM tables access in the Tables and Fields tab to Read/Write
