Unable to connect to site from my workstation. I click on Config mgr console icon and get the following message

Question

The user account running the Configuration Manager console has insufficient permissions to read information from the Configuration Manager site database. The account must belong to a security role in Configuration Manager. The account
must also have the Windows Server Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) Remote Activation permission for the computer running the Configuration Manager site server and the SMS Provider.

Answer 1

If the answer worked, please do mark it as answered so it is easy for the moderators to find the posts that need to be worked on.
However, with that said, you certainly do NOT need to add the Full Administrator security role to use the console. As Torsten stated, you can use whatever role you need. The account (whether via a group or an individual account) just needs added to the console
as an administrative user, and added to the SMS Admins group (should be done automatically when you add the administrative user). Then of course the DCOM stuff that Torsten also pointed you to.
So if Full Admin worked, then I'd switch to the real role you want them to have. I'm guessing that it could have bee the user token had not been updated, so was not really listed as a member of the group. That's why when testing, I always add accounts individually
as administrative users, so you don't have to deal with that. Then after it works individually, then you can add them to the group you really want to use.
