OST/QB - Cannot Create Interactive Bid (Insufficient Rights)

Symptom

You attempt to create an interactive bid, but receive an error message indicating you do not have sufficient rights to create a bid.

Cause

This is caused by one of the following situations:

• Quick Bid is not authorized, activate a valid license in OST and Quick Bid. 
• You have filtered the Quick Bid Bids Tab - this causes On-Screen Takeoff's attempt to create the bid to fail. 
• The user logged into Quick Bid (if logins are required) does not have rights to create bids.

Resolution

• Verify that Quick Bid displays 'est' in the bottom right corner of the application, indicating it is licensed. See Licensing On Center Classic Products Released after 1/1/2018 - OST DPC QB for more information.
• Return to Quick Bid and remove all filters from the Bids Tab (Project Name, Estimator, etc.). See QB - 02.01 The Bids Tab - Bid Organization for more information.
• Contact your database administrator or estimating manager for assistance with adjusting your user rights. See QB - 15.06 Securing Your Databases (using Access Levels to Restrict What Users Can Do) for details on using Quick Bid's database-level security.
