An administrator notices that a custom module added to the application navigator is not visible to users with the 'itil' role. The module's 'Application' field is set to 'Global' and 'Roles' is empty. What is the most likely cause?
Trap 1: The module's 'Application' field is set to 'Global', which…
The 'Application' field set to 'Global' does not restrict visibility to admin users only. Module visibility is controlled by the 'Roles' field and 'Active' flag, not the application scope.
Trap 2: The module was added using the 'Personalize Module' option, which…
Modules added via 'Personalize Module' are user-specific and only visible to that user. The scenario describes a custom module added to the application navigator, which is not a personalization.
Trap 3: The 'Roles' field is empty, so the module is not visible to any…
An empty 'Roles' field makes the module visible to all users. Therefore, it would be visible to users with the 'itil' role unless another factor like the 'Active' flag is preventing it.
- A
The module's 'Application' field is set to 'Global', which restricts visibility to admin users only.
Why wrong: The 'Application' field set to 'Global' does not restrict visibility to admin users only. Module visibility is controlled by the 'Roles' field and 'Active' flag, not the application scope.
- B
The module's 'Active' flag is set to false.
If the module's 'Active' flag is set to false, the module will not be visible to any user, including those with the 'itil' role. This is a common reason for a module not appearing.
- C
The module was added using the 'Personalize Module' option, which is user-specific.
Why wrong: Modules added via 'Personalize Module' are user-specific and only visible to that user. The scenario describes a custom module added to the application navigator, which is not a personalization.
- D
The 'Roles' field is empty, so the module is not visible to any user.
Why wrong: An empty 'Roles' field makes the module visible to all users. Therefore, it would be visible to users with the 'itil' role unless another factor like the 'Active' flag is preventing it.
