Intelligent Data Management Framework - you do not have administrative rights

After the installation of IDMF I was frustrated because of the following error message:

You do not have administrative rights to access the Data Management Framework. But what does it mean?
Actually this message is reuslting from a request that is send via business connector to AX to validate if the user that starts IDMF is having the required role within AX. And guess what Microsoft lives in an english world. There is a macro defined in the method DMTValidateAdminUser.validateUser() that searches for the security role "System Administrator".

 

If your environment is not English you need to replace this with the rolename in your language. In my case for a german environment it is "Systemadministrator"
