Hi Synthia,

I guess you are doing something with Metadata on a object, in this case, your user should be having 'ModifyAllData' permissions on that object.

Let me know iy are able to resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Hi Neetu, 

The error is coming from a VF page. How would I enable "ModifyAllData" for the VF page? 

Thanks!
