Summary

If a user is granted the Discover feature privilege (either All or Read), but lacks any index privileges, they will see this error screen when attempting to access the Discover application:

The error message is confusing and not really actionable. However, if a user manages to craft a link that points to a specific data view, the error looks different and provides a bit more context on what went wrong:

Ideally, user should see a clear/actionable error message in such scenario as it's not that uncommon.
