A user profile is a container for authorizations, while a role is a pre-defined set of authorizations. User profiles can be directly assigned to users, while roles are typically assigned to user groups. Error 88 arises when the user's profile (or the role assigned to them) lacks the necessary authorizations to perform a specific action.
