Insufficient privileges error

I'm getting an insufficient privileges error that I cannot understand why.  I have the following pieces of code:
- SalesReportExtension.cls v31
- SalesReport.page v31
- SalesReport.component v31
- Sales_Report.email v31

The user profiles have access to the above code.

Nothing in this code updates or creates Account record however, in-order to run the Sales Report the Profile needs to have Create and Edit rights.  Without both, they will get an insufficient privileges error.  The Account is the Controller but otherwise there are not updates of any object taking place in the code.  It simply is reading sales data associated to the account and summarizing it for the user and allowing them to create a PDF attached to a SF email.  The code works fine as an Admin and it works fine if I give the user Create/Edit rights to the Account.  Help

In this kind of situation I comment all my codes and gradually uncomment them section by section to see which part of my code is causinig the problem. See if this helps to find out the problem.

Can you please post the associated code?

Thanks for the reply akram.  The code produces the attached screen shot and then if selected, an email, with an attached PDF of the page.  This was my first attempt to use a component on both the vf page and within an email.  What I have is working but I'm not entirely sure it's the best approach.  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated in addition to whatever may be causing the need to create/edit access on the Account object.

Here's a screen short of the resulting page
Screen shot of the report

I am not seeing any issue with your code. Can you please verify,
  • The profile has access to the VF page SalesReport.
  • The associated account record is accessible by the user. As your controller has access modifier with sharing. Any attempt to access inaccessible Accounts may lead to insufficient priviledge error.
  • Also please verify if the User has read permission to all of the objects and their fields accessed in your code.

Yup. The Profiles have access to the class and VF page and email template folder. All the code is the same API version. All profiles have View All access. The error shows when the VF page displays. When I trace the debug logs it all appears to be running as normal. I don't get it.
SarfarajSarfaraj
Seems strange to me. Can you please post a screenshot of the error page?
Terry411Terry411
error message

The URL is:   https://c.cs15.visual.force.com/apex/SalesReport?id=001i000000AbyAI

I saw other post talking about the API version and initially I did have differences there.  I have everything set to version 31 now.
SarfarajSarfaraj
What happens when you try to access this url?
https://cs15.visual.force.com/001i000000AbyAI
Terry411Terry411
"This webpage is not available"
SarfarajSarfaraj
Sorry my bad. what happens for this url,
https://cs15.salesforce.com/001i000000AbyAI
 
Terry411Terry411
The VF page is called from a button on the Account page.  
/apex/SalesReport?id={!Account.Id}
Terry411Terry411
The Account page displays fine...  Interestingly this profile does get an Insuffient Priveleges error if the try to Edit the page.  It has Read, Edit, View All rights in the Profile.  Sharing settings are Public
SarfarajSarfaraj
In this kind of situation I comment all my codes and gradually uncomment them section by section to see which part of my code is causinig the problem. See if this helps to find out the problem.
This was selected as the best answer
Terry411Terry411
Sounds good... now I'm curious why this Profile can't edit even the standard page.  Maybe if I find that answer, I'll solve the Sales Report as well.  Thanks
SarfarajSarfaraj
Does the profile have edit permission on account? If not this error is normal for the standard edit page.
Terry411Terry411
It did.. but i mis-read the Sharing Rules... The were Public Read-Only.  That explains the standard edit page but didn't fix the VF page.  I'll start commenting out sections of code and let you know what I find.  I'll work on that later today.
Terry411Terry411
The problem was caused by the <apex:attribute> in the controller.  I was able to remove it given I was getting the account.id in the controller from the URL line.  Thanks for the advice and help akram!
