"Insufficient permissions to view the device within the account." error message in the End User Portal 'Devices' page

"Insufficient permissions to view the device within the account." error message in the End User Portal 'Devices' page

Explanation: 

When a user is assigned to an account with a role that does not have the "View Devices" permission and when the System configuration option "Enforce device management permissions across accounts" is enabled in the FNO for "End-User Portal Setup", and the user accesses the device in the end user portal, this error message is displayed.

Use Case 1: [Accessing the device in the End User portal for two different accounts linked to the same user when the system configuration is enabled]

1. Customer User details.

Customer Username Account Id Role name Permission Device ID
shreyashs1073@gmail.com TestAc-3 INF-portal admin user role has 'View Devices' permission TestSA01
shreyashs1073@gmail.com TestAc-4 INF-portal user role doesn't have 'View Devices' permission TestSA02

This controls the capabilities available on the Device Details page. When a user with multiple accounts select a device, their permissions to view or manage devices, will be applied based on the ownership of the device within that selected account.

3. Then, in the end user portal device page, the user can access 'TestSA01' device without any issues. But, when the same user tries to click on 'TestSA02' device which is linked to 'TestAc-4' account id, encounters an error message- "Insufficient permissions to view the device within the account."

Use Case 2: [Accessing the device in the End User portal for two different accounts linked to the same user when the system configuration is disabled]
