  template is applied to the TECHGROUP security group for the

  but additional authorizations are applied.
  
  6) Click "OK" on the "System Message" dialog. You should see the
  "Grant Access?" checkbox for "Access to Conduct an Inspection"
  is now checked.

  The Save GROUP Button is enabled but don't Click Save.
  
  8) Click on the "Object Structures" tab, type
  "MXAPIINSPRESULT,MXAPIINSPFORM" in the "Object Structure" column
  and hit ENTER. You should see that the "Grant Access?" checkbox
  is checked for the "Read" option under MXAPIINSPFORM and the
  "Delete", "Insert", "Read", and "Save" options under
  MXAPIINSPRESULT.
  
  9) Check the "Grant Access?" checkbox for "Save" and "Change
  Status" under MXAPIINSPFORM.

  11) Click on the "Applications" tab which should still be
  filtered for the "Conduct an Inspection" application.
  
  12) Click the "Object Structure Authorizations" push-button. You
  should see that the "Grant Access?" checkbox is checked for the
  same options under MXAPIINSPRESULT and MXAPIINSPFORM as were on
  the "Object Structures" tab after STEP 9.
  
  13) Click "Cancel" on the dialog.
  
  So Far all is working as Expected.
  
  14) Click the "Revoke All Options for This Application"
  push-button
  
  System Message Appears:
  
  BMXAA9464W - Do you want to revoke all access for the selected
  Work Center in this security group? All authorization, including
  data authorization by using object structures, is removed. If
  the object structure is specifically for the Work Center, then
  access to the object structure is also removed
  
  15) Click "OK" on the "System Message" dialog. Notice nothing
  appears to change on the screen. Also notice that the "Save
  Group" toolbar button is still disabled
  
  16) Click the "Object Structure Authorizations" push-button. You
  will see that nothing has changed (
  MXAPIINSPRESULT,MXAPIINSPFORM)
  
  17) Click the "Cancel" push-button on the "Authorize Object
  Structures" dialog.
  
  18) Click on the "Object Structures" tab. Again, you will see
  that nothing has changed.
  
  19) Back on the "Applications" tab, click the "Object Structure
  Authorizations" push-button again. You will still see that
  nothing has changed( MXAPIINSPRESULT,MXAPIINSPFORM)
  
  20) Now click the "OK" push-button on the push-button on the
  "Authorize Object Structures" dialog rather than the "Cancel"
  push-button. You should see that the "Grant Access?" checkbox is
  still checked for "Access to Conduct an Inspection" but has been
  cleared for "Create Report?".
  
  21) Click the "Object Structure Authorizations" push-button. You
  will see that the "Grant Access" checkbox has been cleared for
  all options under all Object Structures.
  
  22) Click the "Cancel" push-button on the "Authorize Object
  Structures" dialog.
  
  23) You will see that the "Grant Access" checkbox has been
  cleared for all options under all Object Structures that aren't
  related to the Work Center Application as well as the
  MXAPIINSPRESULT AND MXAPIINSPFORM ( ie.
  MXAPIASSET,MXAPIASSETMETER, etc)
  
  
  CURRENT ERRONEOUS RESULTS:
  
  
  3 issues found
  
  1. It's Not saving/refreshing after steps 14 and 15 with APAR
  IJ29400 applied
  
  2. The System Message that appears at Step 14 is misleading and
  i will be fixing this to Correct the wording on this as per
  Boris, however please advise what it should actually say
  instead?
  You will see that the "Grant Access" checkbox has been cleared
  for all options under all Object Structures that aren't related
  to the Work Center Application as well as the MXAPIINSPRESULT
  AND MXAPIINSPFORM ( ie. MXAPIASSET,MXAPIASSETMETER, etc)
  
  
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  
  
  As L3  stated
  
  
  So it has been decided that they will be removing the Button
  "Revoke All Options for This Application" as it does not work.
  Also it is not needed because customer can remove authorization
  for the application using option Revoke Listed Applications and
  choose all from drop down.
