An Intelligent Map has been created of certain administered entities.

SolarWindsIntelligent Mapsrequire specific functional permissions within the user's account settings to perform modifications. According to theSolarWinds Platform Administrator Guide, the ability to view a map does not automatically grant the right to edit or save changes to it.

The primary cause for being unable to save edits—such as adding new entities or changing the layout—is that theuser does not have Intelligent Map edit rightsassigned to their user account. In the SolarWinds Web Console, map permissions are granular. An administrator must go toSettings > All Settings > Manage Accounts, select the user, and ensure the "Map Management" or specific "Allow Map Editing" toggle is set to "Yes". If this permission is absent, the user may still be able to interact with the map in a "live" temporary session (moving nodes around for visualization), but the "Save" button will either be disabled or will result in an error because the platform's security layer prevents permanent changes to the database from unauthorized accounts.
