Item Saved Search Throws an Error: “Your formula contains a reference to a field for which you do not have a permission”

The user has an Item Saved search that contains the following formula in the Criteria tab > Standard sub-tab:

Filter: Formula (Numeric) | Description: is 1 | Formula:Case When {user.location.id}={inventorylocation.id} Then 1 Else 0 End

Administrators can access the saved search without any errors. For certain custom roles, they are receiving the following error when accessing the saved search:

“Notice: Your formula contains a reference to a field for which you do not have a permission.”

Solution

1. Using an Administrator role, navigate to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles
2. Click Edit for the custom role receiving the error
3. In the Permissions tab > Lists sub tab, add the Locations permission and set the Level = View
4. Click Save
5. Have the user of the custom role to log out and log in back to the system
6. Have the user of the custom role access the saved search again

The user should be able to access and run the saved search without receiving the error.
