We are trying to install and use IFS Report Designer on a server on our network to connect to our hosted IFS environment.
We have a VPN tunnel between our data centre and our hosted environment.
Note we are on on IFS APPS10 Hosted but not IFS Cloud.
I have been able to install the client but when trying to connect I get the error below:
“You don’t have enough privileges to invoke this method”
I’ve raised with IFS Support who have advised me to ask the Community.
Has anyone seen this error before or can advise as it’s not clear what privileges?
- For our hosted environment do we need particular access to the server (e.g. IFS Citrix) to run this?
- We have VPN connection to the server but not sure if this is enough to access what we need?
- Are there any other things we need to look at (certificates/IFS permissions etc.)?
I’ve tried logging in as both IFSAPP and IFSADMIN.
Any thoughts welcomed.

Yes it is resolved, sorry should have posted back here in case the solution helps anyone. However we are maybe in an unusual circumstance where we are not “IFS Cloud” but are hosted by them for APPS10.
Issue was specific to our hosting setup.
- We have a VPN tunnel which is used for anything which needs files transferred, connection to database, printing etc.
- In order for report designer to connect it needs to be across the VPN to be allowed to connect to the appropriate endpoint.
- However the URL resolves to the public IP of the IFS server so traffic is routed via the internet not the VPN tunnel.
I won’t go through the whole conversation with IFS support and some of the issues but the eventual resolution was to get the private IP of the IFS server and set that up on a hosts file on the device on our network we were trying to connect from. This meant we could route the traffic through the tunnel and connect successfully.
