Thanks Christopher,

The issue was a reduced function licence provided by the third party. 

Take care and God bless,

Peter

Hi,

I have a similar problem, however in this case I am an administrator and I want to give access to create a template to another employee. How can I give them such access? I looked in the settings, but could not find what I was looking for.

Best,

Mathieu

You need to a new Permission profile with the ability to create Templates.  I recommend you create a Copy of the DS Sender and the appropriate level of Template access.  Once that is done. you can add users to this profile.
