Discount Manager (no tasks available)

I have successfully migrated my campaigns as per the
instructions. I can access the Discount Services over the
web... I have migrated the BizDesk to FP1 (Catalog &
Campaigns) so I do not have the ability to create
discounts through the BizDesk..
When I open Discount Manager however, under tasks all
activities except "Create a connection" are GRAYED out ?
What could be the reason ?

I had the same problem. What you have to do is open the Authorization
Manager, open the Authorization store and add the Windows user account
that the Discount Manager is running on. Here's what you do:
Start the Authorization Manager (Start->Run->azman.msc)
(auth manager is not available on windows XP, so I hope you're on a
server)
Add the Catalog authorization store
(c:\inetpub\wwwroot\CatalogWebService\Ca
talogAuthorizationStore.xml)
Add the Marketing authorization store
(c:\inetpub\wwwroot\MarketingWebService\
MarketingAzManPolicy.xml)
Expand until you see "Role Assignments",
Right click on "All Access" or "Catalog Administrator"
Click on Assign Windows Users and Groups
Add "Everyone" or whatever account the catalog manager/discount
manager is running under.
I can't say you'll have much success with the GUI (I've found it
rather buggy) but at least you can try looking at the tasks.

| Yes, that is the missing piece -- setting up the Authorization policy. Thank you Jason for providing the direction.
While we are at it, setting everyone to "all access" is not the best practice from security perspective. We have several levels of pre-defined Authorization roles out of box. Speaking of
marketing system, you can assign users to marketing viewer role (pretty much read only for all marketing entites), marketing author role (can create discount), marketing approver role
(can approve discount so that it can go to the production runtime) and all access.
Also, you don't really need to be assigned to any Catalog system authorization role in order to open Discount manager and see all options enabled. However, if you need to create
discount and pick the category/product(s) in catalog to give discount, then you need to at least have Catalog viewer role.
