@Rodrigo Nunes I am assuming you are getting this when creating an automation in Confluence as that is where I have seen this in the past.  You will need to check the action(s) on the automation and make sure that the user account that has been assigned to run the automation has the proper permissions to execute the action.  https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/actions-in-confluence-automation/

Hello @Rodrigo Nunes 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Can you provide more information about what you are doing when you get this message?

Are you sure the message says "author" rather than "actor"?

If it says "actor" take a look at this Question on the same topic:
