I am logging in  FME FLOW on our local FME Server (v25.2.1) using my AD Credentials that I manually enter.  When I get logged in, I try to open several workbenches that I had previously uploaded and to which I had full access. However, I get a popup message “Unauthorized request by user (myaccountname) due to lack of proper permissions or the object does not exist.”

I contacted the local FME administrator who advised that my account had full permissions to the workbenches I was trying to access.  He advised I log off and back in several times, the implication that he was reviewing or changing something on his end.  And always the same resulting error message.

The administrator is adamant that I should be able to access the workbenches, however, I cannot.
I had asked that the issue be escalated but the administrator was unsure where to escalate the issue.
I am looking for any advice on the issue.
Thanks in advance

That sounds like your account does not have the Version Control access. Even if you don’t use version control, any user still needs that access enabled. It’s a known issue (don’t have the link at hand right now).

I contacted our FME Admin who “granted it Access on Version Control”, and it worked.  Thank you for your assistance.
