Thanks LJ for the input... I finally got it to work.. But still can you help me understand the logic of Asset user not being able to relate a Computer System CI and a role.
Both the records that I need to relate do exist so no new CI is created just a relationship is established by the asset user. I thought asset users are allowed to modify existing CI's . if so why not let relate them to one another.
