Need to know which role to enable to get Indexing Section Enabled

Question

I have a user that we dont want to give admin access to, but still want some of the functionallity from it. The indexing section to where you can boost values, rules and include in search is all greyed out with the priviledges they have know. Could someone point me to what role or security setting they need. Thank you.

Access right applies on the item level, It will make the whole item editable or disabled. Access right does not work on the section level.

It looks like the current user you are logged in with does not have proper access writes to edit the item. You need to identify a role that is blocking the current user from read/write items. You need to use Access Viewer to review user/roles access rights and update roles according to to allow write access.

1. Go to launchpad and click on Access Viewer.
2. Select role/user from the top left Roles and Users selection box.
3. Select an item that is not accessible for the user/role.
4. It would come up with a right-side pane to show access permission specifically to the selected role/user.

In most cases sitecore\Author role is enough to allow content editing.

Hope it helps!
