Hi Capt_Barbosa and Varad Srivastava You're trying to update process variables (PVs) in two processes ( 12345 and 54321 ) using the Set External PV plugin and 
 It works for 54321 but fails for 12345 with the error: "An error occurred while trying to update the PVs of process with id 12345: Insufficient permission." and also Both process models have the same security settings. pls try below steps and let me know... 
 
 Instance-Level Security: 
 Even if the process models have the same security, individual process instances can have different permissions. Double-check the permissions for process 12345. Go to Monitoring > Process Details > Security for 12345 and make sure the account running the plugin has Administrator or Manager access. Process Instance Status: 
 Is the process instance 12345 still active? If it&rsquo;s already completed, canceled, or archived, you won&rsquo;t be able to update its PVs. If it&rsquo;s archived, you&rsquo;d need to restore it before trying again. Variable Names and Types: 
 Double-check that the PV you&rsquo;re trying to update exists in process 12345 and has the same data type you&rsquo;re passing. Sometimes a mismatch can cause issues. Logs: 
 Check the logs (especially the application-server.log) to see if there&rsquo;s more detail about the error. The error message in the plugin might not give you the full picture. Test a New Instance: 
 Try creating a new instance of the process model for 12345 and see if the plugin works on that. If it does, the problem is specific to the original instance.
