I wrote an expression plug-in that returns a writer. Every thing has worked fine when used by a "System Designer" but when attempted to execute as "Basic User", the following error is returned. How do I set security for writer function to allow a "Basic User".

[local!testWriter:The user [test.ccat.submitter] does not have sufficient privileges to perform the requested action.]

DO NOT make the user and Admin just add him to "Designers" that'll give me an idea on where to look in your code if that works.

I don't see any group called "Designers" at all. What am I missing ?

Excellent. Once you add this user to that group, log out and log in. See if the function now works for the basic user. If it does, I'll take a look at your plug-in

Edurado, as usual - you nailed it. When I added this basic user into "Designers" group no errors at all. Help me to remove this restriction now.

should I attach the source code as ZIP file now ? or you just want to see the key parts like InitialContext() and lookup() parts ?
