Script not available to execute for Admin User

[TheSteveBennett]

I have a script that can be executed by certain users but certain admin users can't see it from the main menu. Where do I need to look to correct this?

Hi @TheSteveBennett, if you want admin users to be able to see (and execute) the script, you have to give them access explicitly. You can use @admin_users group, to give an access to all admins at once

Do I have to edit the JSON file for the script or can I do that from the admin panel. If I can do that from the admin panel then what would prevent me from doing so?

You can edit it from the admin panel. Of course, usually admins have extended access to scripts/server and can execute anything. In this case access settings is only to prevent unintended invocation of a script by an admin. E.g. if by a company policy, a script should be only executed by a Financial department. Then for admins, it will be obvious, that they shouldn't do it, since there is no access. At least, that was my way of thinking about it, when I implemented this restriction :)

Thank you. When I use the @admin_users and hit save, nothing happens and when I edit the json file directly the script disappears from the menu until I remove my changes.

Could you try pressing "Enter" before pressing Save?

Please check logs/server.log file. Most probably there is missing comma in json file or smth similar

Brillant! That did it. Thank you.
