Override Access authority from Commands checkResourcePermission The user does not have the authority to run this command. CMN0410E: The system failed to retrieve the message with  key "_ERR_USER_AUTHORITY" from "com.ibm.commerce.ras.properties.ecServerMessages" I am sure all of us working in commerce have seen the above error  a million times and some times it is because we didn't correctly define the access privileges when creating a new command and running ACPLoad but some times it is important to override the out of the box access policies.
