Hi!

One user has the following given privileges:

 ![2-privileges](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex047/uploads/communitysonatype/original/1X/7b5c460b9b6a798446f99507390a00a6062da8db.png)

- _nx-component-upload_

He is trying to upload a component (some files of different types, e.g. .png, .pdf etc)

That same files could be uploaded by admin user, but others users with that privileges don’t.

e.g.

> Not authorized for requested path ‘design/UntitledDiagram.png’

What other privileges do I need to give them?

- my environment:  
NXRM-3.15.2

- logviewer:

> ```
> org.sonatype.nexus.extdirect.internal.ExtDirectExceptionHandler 
> Failed to invoke action method: coreui_Upload.doUpload, java-method:
> org.sonatype.nexus.coreui.UploadComponentComponent.doUpload
> org.sonatype.nexus.rest.ValidationErrorsException:
> Not authorized for requested path 'myfolder/myfile.png'
> 
> ```

The need to have the add and edit privileges for the target repository.

```
nx-repository-vew-<format>-<repoID>-add
nx-repository-vew-<format>-<repoID>-edit

```
