A user indicates when a map is created, only entities can be seen and status is not available. In addition, maps are unable to be nested. What is…

The described symptoms—inability to see entity status and the unavailability of the map nesting feature—are indicative of insufficient permissions for the Orion Maps feature. A user account lacking full "Map Editing Rights" can be restricted to a view-only or a basic creation mode. This prevents the use of advanced editor functions like nesting maps and can also limit the dynamic display of object statuses, as full data polling and rendering are part of the complete editing and management feature set. The combination of both issues points directly to a limitation on the map management functionality itself.

A. Administrative rights are not required; a non-admin can have full map permissions. This option is too broad.

C. Node management rights pertain to adding, deleting, or editing nodes, not the functionality of the map editor like nesting.

D. View edit rights relate to customizing web console dashboards and pages, which is a separate permission from managing Orion Maps.
