Cause

Your user is flagged as a Development User in the system backend. There could be two causes for this:

  • You are assigned to the PDI work centres.
  • You have previously logged into the Cloud Application Studio.

This is the expected system behaviour when using PDI users for adaptation. Its not recommended to use the PDI users for adaptation purposes.

Resolution

Please use a Business User to perform such actions.
