Query uses advanced features that you don’t have access to

If you encounter the following message when trying to Edit or Run a specific query from Reporting Tools>Query>Query Manager:

Query “QUERY_NAME” uses advanced features that you don’t have acess to.

You are unable to access this query.

It generally means that the user’s access to query through the corresponding permission list is restricted,actually the number of joins one can perform through the query is limited and although one can run the queries with more than the number of joins this
specific query has, one cannot Edit them.

Therefore, the resolution would be to go to the “Query” tab of the permission list, then to Query Profile and in the Sql Advanced Options section check the “Allow use of ‘Any Join’” box and set the “Maximum Joins Allowed” to a corresponding value (9=Unlimited
number of joins) or by updating the field directly into the database:

UPDATE PS_SCRTY_QUERY SET QRY_MAX_JOINS=’9′ WHERE CLASSID=’YourPermissionList’;

It might, also, be a problem of Query Access List cache, in the context of recent modifications applied to Query Access Groups or Query Access Group settings on permission lists or roles. In order to correct or avoid the above mentioned issue one should
go to PeopleTools> Security>Query Security>Query Access List Cache, check the “Enable Access List Cache” radio button and afterwards press the Run button to execute the PSQRYACCLIST application engine which will populate or refresh the query access list cache
table.
