ERROR: User does not have appropriate authorization level for library WC000002.

Please show the full code. That line could be problematic in several ways depending on where it's used.

The ERROR means that you tried to create a dataset in a library where you do not have write permission.

Please post the complete log of your step, and use the </> button to post it.
