I have users in the group added to be able to View Survey results, with the ability to "View and Export Data".  Only they get the error "You do not have permission to perform this action. Required privilege: create content."

Checking the Sharing settings, they have the correct permissions in the survey to export, "View and export data".  Only that is not true, it appears they also have to be a Creator.

Unless I am missing something they are not creating anything in AGO/Portal just downloading the data.

  • Perhaps an asterisk should be added that Creator is required to download content locally. 
  • Or remove the Creator requirement and anyone with permission to View and export data, could do so.

I found this useful chart, only we would rather not have to bump a user looking to export data from a survey to a Creator.  Are creator licenses are limited.

My dashboard is for internal users and not shared publicly and they periodically need the data and are only viewers in the organization.

Hello everyone,

The Export button on the Data tab of the Survey123 website is the same as the Export button on a feature layer’s item details page: both call the export item operation in the REST API and require a Creator user type (or higher) to create the exported item in your account. For simplicity, the Survey123 website deletes the exported item in your account after the browser’s download dialog appears.

As noted in this Survey123 help topic, a tooltip has been added to the Share results tab to explain that a Creator user type is required to export.
