The Privilege troubleshooter is a tool that helps you investigate the allocation of user privileges in your Security Center system.
The actions available to users in Security Center are controlled by many privileges, which can be defined for individual users or inherited from user groups. The Privilege troubleshooter examines the allocation of privileges in your system, helping you to verify user permissions and fix issues.

About using the tool
You can open the Privilege troubleshooter from the Tools menu in Config Tool if you have the following privileges:
- View user properties
- View user group properties
The tool opens in a separate window that is divided into three views in which you can investigate entities, users, or privileges.
- The Export button is only visible if you have the Print/export reports privilege. If you do not have the Single user print/export privilege, a second user who does have that privilege must enter their credentials to authorize the export.
- If you filter the results using the search bar, only the visible results are exported.
- The exported data cannot be used as part of a scheduled task or a hot action.
- When there are more than 2000 results, only the CSV format is supported.
