SYMPTOMS

If you leave the Search in this collection box in the Create Direct Membership Wizard blank while you are creating a collection based on a direct membership rule, you may receive the following error message:

You do not have Class Read Resource security rights, therefore you must specify a collection.

If you select a specific collection to be limited to in the Collection Limiting dialog box, you may receive the following error message:

You do not have Read Resource security rights to the collection specified. You must specify a different collection."

When this problem occurs, you cannot finish the Create Direct Membership Rule Wizard. However, you can successfully create a collection based on a query.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if you are logged on as a user who belongs to a global group that has been granted the appropriate rights to the Collections class to create new collections. However, the Direct Membership Rule Wizard does not correctly determine the global group membership of the current user.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Systems Management Server version 2.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, assign Read and Read Resource collection class rights in addition to the Create right to individual users who need to create collections based on direct membership rules.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0. This problem was first corrected in Systems Management Server version 2.0 Service Pack 2.
