What it means

Aeris support staff can enter a view-as session to reproduce a customer issue. Those sessions are read-only by policy — no mutating tool can run, regardless of scope or plan — to prevent support work from silently changing a customer’s campaigns. End users will not see this error in normal usage. It fires only when an admin session tries to mutate.

How to fix

  • Exit the view-as session and act as the intended user.
  • If you need to make a change on the customer’s behalf, coordinate with them and have them run the tool, or take control via the standard support-approved path.
