[SOLVED] Add To Favorites Option in WF8 Report Library

My users are not getting the Add To Favorites option in the drop down when they right click a report in Report Library. All they see is View and Subscribe.

We are using WF8.1.0.5m

As an admin I see the option so I assume it is a privilege but I am not sure how to give them access. I have the folder shared and they are part of the group that it is shared with. I even added their name but that did not help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
JV

I don't have 8.1 any more, but in 8.2:
log in as admin
right click the domain
go to Security/Effective Policy
Click the user in question
look for a privilege called Display Favorites Node
Change to Permitted

I have tried that but it will not allow a change here. It seems to be read only. I am signed in as ADMIN

From SECURITY CENTER click on the ROLES tab.
Locate the role the user belongs to and double click on the role name to open the list of privileges.
Locate DISPLAY FAVORITES NODE under Basic Reporting.
Enable the privilege

Here is what I had to do.

Create a new Role called "Display Favorites Node" I gave that Role two privileges, "Access Library Content" and "Display Favorites Node". They now see the Add to Favorites Option and they can open the reports that load there. Without “Access Library Content” privilege they will not be able to open the docs under Favorites.

Thanks for all the help.
