Private favorites: You can create favorites only if you have the user.favorites capability word in your operator record.

Public favorites: You can share favorites with other users only if you have the public.favorites capability word in your profile. If you create a public favorite and store it in the Favorites and Dashboards parent node, the favorite is available to all users. If you create a public favorite, and store it in a node that is subordinate to the Favorites and Dashboards parent node, the favorite availability depends on the properties of the parent node.

Contact your administrator if you cannot create favorites.
