  • Hi,

    Did you registered the plugin in the running user or specific user's context? If it is the running user, then, in addition to act on behalf privilege, he/she should have enough privileges to do the update or create actions. For example, if you updated an entity or assigned it, the current user should have the write and assign privileges on that entity to be able to use the plugin. If the audit logs is not important for you and it does not matter who changed the records through plugin, you could use an admin account in the running context of the plugin. Give this suggestions a try and let me know the results.
