Resolving the "You do not have write permission to the destination container" error

Summary

A common support request we receive involves the error message:

“An error occurred during creation: You do not have write permission to the destination container.”

This message appears when you attempt to save a Campus Notice in a folder that is not designated for that content. Campus Notices must be saved in a folder that corresponds to the year and month in which the notice will be published.

Below are steps to help you identify and correct the issue.

How to Identify the Issue

1. Review the location where you are attempting to save the Campus Notice.
2. Above the error message, locate the Placement Folder field and note the path shown.

3. The folder path must end with a two-digit number (01–12) that corresponds to the month in which the notice will be published.
   1. For example, if the Campus Notice is scheduled for publication in February 2026, the path should read:
      CWU: /about/media-resources/news/campus-notices/2026/02  (as shown in the screenshot below).

4. If the path ends with only the year (for example, /2026), the notice is being saved in the wrong location.
