403 forbidden error on LREP for Variant Management.

[mandrew]

I'm trying to set up smart variant management for a filter bar on my app, saving to the layered repository. With my own account, or one belonging to another developer, it works perfectly. With any of our test accounts, though, I get the following error:

GET http://HOSTNAME:8000/sap/bc/lrep/flex/data/APPNAME.Component 403 (Forbidden)

(Where HOSTNAME and APPNAME are the actual host and app I'm working with).

This causes the variant management controls to grey out.

So I know this is a permissions/security issue, since my personal developer account doesn't get this error.

My question is what permission/role/setting am I missing for my test accounts to be able to use the LREP?

Have you checked transaction SU53 for the test user on the front-end server? Assign the authorization object /UIF/LREP on the front-end server and check again.

I don't see anything in SU53 for either the developer users or the test users for /UIF/LREP.
