Problem

Last Error [50000] error loading Map definition file. Fetching Map Definition file from server failed.

User is getting above error when logging into ProjectWise Explorer. Once logged in the user can only see the top level folder "Documents" and nothing underneath

Solution

User was not part of the group that could read any of the folders\files in ProjectWise. Once his permissions where corrected, he could log in without the error and see the proper folders and files. User has to be able to at least file read in document security in the location where the Maps are defined. (You will need access to the ProjectWise Administrator to determine where Maps are defined)
