I'm looking for a way to cancel a "batch" of process instances.

@sreerajm The error messages suggest that the user doesn't have sufficient privileges on the process. Would you please be able to let us know the roles of user (as per process security role map) in the processes in which the cancel process has failed? If you can let us know with few examples of your case, the community can guide you accordingly.

Just to let you know, as per my knowledge, it's not a limitation but its intention is to perform a particular action against the process only when the user holds the sufficient privileges against the process.

A work around is, you can always run the smart service under the context of Administrator and in this approach, you won't come across such privilege issues.
