Problem Note 60882: When deleting an external account in a user's properties in SAS® Management Console, the error "Error writing metadata..." occurs
In SAS Management Console, when you have the Metadata Server: User Administration role and attempt to delete a user's external account, the following error might occur:
Error writing metadata. The user does not have permission to perform this action.
This error message can be ignored, because the client does remove the associations for the external accounts and then deletes them explicitly.
