When a query with 'return' command is run by a non admin user, it throws the error

Has anyone encountered this and found a fix for this permission issue?

Hi Parameshwara

update on this error:
the command 'return' is in the search app, so every user-role or app who likes to use the 'return' command, needs read access to the search app.

cheers, MuS

Thanks for this tip. 

I encountered the error message Unknown search command 'predict' in a panel that used the predict command from the MLTK. The origin of the problem was the same - my user did not have access right to the Search and reporting app. This is strange, since I did not think that app would be involved at all.
