Is there any limitation as to which character can identify an item in Diablo 3

During one of the quests, my co-op partner( with level 10 Demon Hunter as the character) was rewarded with a rare item. Apparently he wasn't able to identify the item(there was no option for him to do so) while my character, a level 12 Monk was able to identify the item.

Why was this is so? Is there any restriction that only particular characters at particular levls can identify items?


Solution 1:

He wasn't able to identify the item because he didn't know how to do so properly.

All characters can identify all rare items.
