You do not have permission to directly access datafiles

[jwilt]

Getting this error when attempting to read a logical file:
"You do not have permission to directly access datafiles"
This is HPCC 6.4.10-1.

Is there a configuration change or #OPTION or some other way to get around this?
Thanks.

Jim,

Sounds to me like LDAP permissions.

HTH,

Richard

Yes, of course that’s the obvious first thought. And it may be.
I’m missing in the HPCC documentation exactly where it explains how to set the proper permissions, what OUs are involved, etc.
This very error message is verbatim found in the source code (easily found by a google search, not by a GitHub search). Apparently added in v6. Hard to track in the source code where it’s set. Seems like it may be an eclcc option, something about “datafile”.
I haven’t yet found reference to this elsewhere.
