Secured Action Catch 22: Add Contact

[RJSamp]

I've got a client that is locking down Add Account to a 'team' of dedicated CRM professionals that know a Dupe when they see one and are paid by how many fields they fill out perfectly....unlike your average salesperson......[just teasing].

So users can't add an account......

OOTB give the users Add Contact......

and you guessed it, they can't add a contact....

WHY?

Because the addContactAccount selector form is tied to a SecuredAction.....you guessed it Add Account.....

MeThinks that the Dev guys at SalesLogix aren't talking to the guys in the street who are actually using the SalesLogix product from a motel room before a big presentation to Wal-Mart.

This is poorly executed.....and leaves the partner community footing the bill for 'customizing' OOTB functionality.....

Good catch - Many customers do not allow the adding of Accounts but do allow adding Contacts.

I hope this was not an intentional "design" and really a bug.
