The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Softimage Toonz for IRIX, version 3.5
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
In Softimage Toonz, if you cannot access either the Palette Editor
(PLTEdit) module or the colours button in the Inknpaint module, you do
not have art director privileges.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This can happen because of one of the following situations:
 
 - either you indicated no to art director privileges when the question
   was asked in the installation process by which the permission.toonz file
   is not created,
 
   -or-
 
 - the user name in the permission.toonz file is not the same as the
   user running Softimage Toonz.
 
However, if neither of these two causes apply to your situation, i.e. the
permission.toonz file exists and it contains the correct Toonz user name,
perhaps your Toonz user name contains more than eight letters.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
Work around the first two possible situations as follows:
 
 - change directory to $TOONZROOT/config and edit the permission.toonz
   file by adding the correct user name in the first line,
 
   -or-
 
 - if the permission.toonz file is not there, create it and add the
   correct user name once the permission.toonz file is created.
 
In the case of a Toonz user name containing more than eight letters,
complete the following steps:
 
1. Change the user name to a new name that contains eight letters or
   less in the /etc/passwd file.
 
2. Correct the entry in the permission.toonz file after step 1.
 
STATUS
======
 
This behavior is by design.
