The ability to create or edit case scripts is turned off by default. You must have user permissions in order to perform these tasks. If you try to create or edit a case script without access rights, an error message displays.
Once a case script is created, you need to set user access rights to each script. You have the option to make scripts available to one user or all users in a case.

The Language field listing box is disabled if you do not have access rights to scripts stored in both the My Scripts and All Users Scripts folders.
| 4. | In the Store In listing, click on the folder in which you want to store the case script. |
