Scorecard: Users can't leave/save Note in Check-in History

Hi everyone!

Writing this post as we can't figure out the reason why Users with View permissions can't post/save a Note in the Check-In History of the various Metrics.

The Users have been provided with the respective permissions in the "Role setting" of the Scorecard (they "Can view all metrics" + "Can update all metrics"), as well as added to the Workspace with Viewer role. They can access and view the content, everything works fine except for the mentioned functionality. 

The Permissions granted are the following: View + Notes.
The other ones (Current + Status) are currently not selected / granted.

The Status code of the error message is "401". We, the Admins, can leave and save Notes.

Reaching out to the Community hoping that someone has the solution, thank you in advance!

Hi @mathis92 ,

Based on the description, try to verify that the viewer role does not restrict ability to save notes.

Because workspace roles are separate from metric level permissions roles.

Besides, try to check that user are correctly authenticated and authorized.
