Due to regulatory reasons we have to limit number of administrators with object deployment right in our SCCM 2012 sp1 environment.  As a side effect I noticed we also restrict these administrators from  running summarization on the deployed objects.

Did anyone came across this and is there any way to allow users to Run Summarization of object deployment without deploy right to that object?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

This might seem like a stupid question but, why not create a report for this information?

Thanks Garth that is not a stupid question. I actually started to look at the reporting and modify canned reports to get us the necessary info without the fluff that sometimes these reports have. It will be somewhat of a culture shift for us since all our admins relied on that summarization but unless I can find the way to allow them summarization that will have to do.

Ok but keep in mind that reports are always 100% up to date, whereas the console can be 24 hours out of date. Plus accessing the reports via the web interface has less overhead than accessing the report within the console.
