This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an operation that requires higher privileges than those granted to their user role.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization for the user to execute the TRUNCATE command on the specified table. This can happen due to:
  
  Insufficient User Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include permissions for data manipulation on the specified table.
  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects that control access to database operations may not be configured correctly for the user.
