4.2 GUI Branch on file

User getting

Operation failed: Branch $/XXX/XXX/filename.nmc

no other data to indicate the error. another user can do the branch without issue.

Can you look in the Vault server log found at %windir%\temp\sgvault\sgvault log to see if any errors are reported there?

Also, check the user's client-side log found at %temp%\vaultguiclient.txt.

this is SourceOffsite, not Vault

[Beth]

Sorry about that. The SourceOffSite server log is found in the same directory SourceOffSite is installed to and called log.txt. Any errors there?

[five0.4tluv]

yes. it shows the users ip connecting, assigns a session id. the error for the session id shows the session does not have access rights.

the user can check-out, check-in and everything else to the file.

It's possible that permissions are restricted in Visual SourceSafe. Check the VSS admin tool under Tools - Options - Project Rights and under Tools - Rights Assignment for User. In order to branch, the user needs Add/Rename/Delete permissions.
