Hi @VayuD1899653630 

 

  •  Navigate to System Definition > Modules and check whether those modules are active.
  • Navigate to System Definition > Application Menus and search for software Asset. Check the Roles field. If there are specific roles assigned there, ensure that your administrator or test user account holds these exact roles TanushreeMaiti_0-1782823470726.png

     

  • Type cache.do into the filter navigator and press enter. Try in Incognito/InPrivate browser.

Hi @VayuD1899653630 

The primary reason could be that the user does not have the required role. For this functionality, the user must have the SAM Admin or Manager role.

Please assign the appropriate role and test again. If the issue still persists, try repairing/the plugin and clear the instance cache before testing again.
