Question

Hi,
i am getting this error "The current user has insufficient permissions to perform this operation." when trying to add the Term store managed navigation like the following screen shot. i am the Farm
administrator and as well managed services account. also noticed, cannot delete the service application, saying you don't have enough permission to delete the db. but using this account i was able to do everything before in my environment. is anyone already
face this kind of error, so what will be the way to resolve this?
Appreciated!

Answer 1

event though its a farm admin,It should provide the access to MMS.please find the below link for more details and the solution for the issue.
Go to SharePoint Central Administration Site –> Application Management –> [Service Applications] –> Manage service applications
2.   Highlight the Managed Metadata Service that your web application is associated with. (Do not click on the link, just click somewhere else on that row to highlight it)
3.   Click on Permissions button in the ribbon area.
4.   Add the application pool account used by your web application and give it  ‘full Access to Term Store’
5.   Click OK.
