Known Causes

⚠️
Insufficient User Privileges
The MySQL user attempting the operation lacks the necessary `GRANT` privileges (e.g., `SELECT`, `UPDATE`) on the specific system table or database.
⚠️
Direct Modification of Protected Tables
The operation attempts to directly modify a system table that is managed internally by MySQL and not intended for user-level DML operations.
⚠️
Incorrect Schema Context
The query implicitly targets a system table due to an incorrect `USE` statement or missing schema qualification, leading to an unauthorized action.
