Unable to assign and save data_privacy_clone_processor role

vdeamicis — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 15:00:49 GMT

Hi,

I've activated a PDI with Xanadu to try the Data Privacy Plugin.

In order to execute the Data privacy Jobs I need to assign the data_privacy_clone_processor role to my admin user and then elevate my role.

Nevertheless, if I had the data_privacy_clone_processor role to my User's roles and then I save, the role does not appear in the list of roles. So it seems the system does not save. The same behaviour does not occur for other roles (I was able to assign the data_privacy_admin role to my Sys Admin user without encountering the same issue).

Any suggestions?

Thank you and kind regards,

Valentina

You must first elevate your role to security_admin role and then add these roles. You will not be able to publish the ploicy without this role.

Ran into this issue while cloning privacy records and it turned out to be more annoying than it looked. I kept hitting save errors until roles and ownership lined up correctly. Permissions felt inconsistent across environments. After checking ACLs and comparing with a working record, the fix became obvious. I learned not to trust the UI alone here.
