Hi @thesasuser,

Are there any ACTs applied in your environment?
Are the users part of separate groups in SMC? If yes, can you validate the permissions for both the groups?
Try to explicitly grant permission to an user who is getting this error to see if it works.

This Kb has some steps to overcome permission related issues.

Thanks Anand.
As we are not using OLAP cubes, removed readmetadata permissions.
So issue got resolved
