Alerting

Permission Denied when clicking "view results" on Alert

I have a user who is getting an alert but when he clicks to view the alert he is able to go to the alert page, but when he clicks on "view results" on the alert page it takes him to search bar and says permission denied.

He has access to the index where this alert is set up. He is also able to see the results pop up when he pastes the alert search query on the search bar. He also has access to the application and this alert is shared in the app.

His permissions: Power User

What can I do so that this user is able to see the results when clicking on the "View Results" button on the alert page.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Rohit

Alerts and Reports have their own permissions. When you create one you will need to set the permission even if the user has access to the index.

This is how it is set up on the Alert.

Everyone has read permission to it. But still when the "View results" hot button is clicked on the alert page. It takes the user to the search bar but displays "Permission denied".

I am thinking there might be some custom setting for this but I can't figure it out yet.
