Views in modules read only

I have been getting a lot of requests from users recently to reset the access rights  where all of the Views in a module have become read only for everyone. To reset them back to inherited means logging in as Administrator.  I don't believe this to be a user issue but am at a loss to find any other cause. The version of DOORS we are using at the moment is 9.5.1. Has anyone else come across this?

That's strange. Has it happened for a specific module or multiple modules? Are the modules in question part of a partition?

Hi, it happens with multiple modules, we don't use partitions but do use eXchange on this database, I had to do 12 modules last night, all within the same project.

Were the modules in question or that project used with eXchange? If that is the case you should contact the eXchange developer. I can't imagine this happening as a result of one user "accidentally" changing the access rights for all views in a module. And I also can't imagine a problem in the DOORS tool itself causing this. It sounds automated. So I would start with looking into eXchange or any other DXL being used on these modules.
