GCM baseline creation creates baselines to the streams where user has access and shows error for the inaccessible areas

When user tries to apply a new baseline at the GCM level, the Application proceed and create new baseline to the streams where user has access at the project level. it gives error for the areas where user does not have access. The Error message is also not clear. and it essentially forces the user to create another GCM level baseline. The desired behavior will be to get a warning message in the begging and at the end a meaningful error message shall be displayed.

    When a new global baseline is created, GCM attempts to create the appropriate local baselines in a staging stream (BSS). GCM can only determine if a local baseline creation fails by attempting to actually create it. So a pre-check would not provide much value since it must do the work of trying to create baselines anyway.

    GCM will create as many of the local baselines as possible. If an issue prevents GCM from creating a local baseline (such as lack of access permission), the staging stream can be retried after the issue is resolved by using Commit Baseline on the staging stream. Creating a new GCM baseline should not be necessary.

    Since GCM needs to attempt to create the local baselines to know whether or not it can create them, and the GC baseline can be re-tried using Commit Baseline rather than creating a new baseline, providing pre-baseline error messages will not provide much value. For these reasons this RFE will be rejected.

    If you have recommendations for improvements to the existing error messages that would make them clearer, we encourage you to submit a new RFE for those changes.
