"You do not have the necessary permissions. Please contact your account administrator for assistance."

This behaviour is confirmed as an internal software issue with ID #PBA-82032. Contact your Technical Account Manager or Pooled Technical Associate Team at pta@odin.com to clarify the status of #PBA-82032.

Resolution

Change user's password to the one containing Latin letters (uppercase and lowercase), numerals and symbols (all characters not defined as letters or numerals) except spaces.
