 * I received this error and it frustrated me to no end but I fixed it!
 * The issue is for users other than admins (including Authors) in adding and uploading
   media to a post. It was solved by using the ‘User Role Editor’ plugin to grant
   extra access to those roles.
 * Under the ‘Pages’ tab of the ‘User Role Editor’ plugin, allow
    edit_others_pages
   edit_published_pages
 * Then it should all work!

 * Yes glad you got it figured out.
 * There is a post about all of this at [Plugin Planet](https://plugin-planet.com/usp-pro-enable-non-admin-users-upload-media/)
   just fyi.
 * Thank you for sharing your method and results.
