Recently one of my customers started getting insufficient permissions messages and having issues accessing files on the CRM.

Exception detail was as below.

After a while found the “Complex Control” privileges are listed as “Process Configuration” in CRM security roles. To fix the issue go to CRM Security Roles and open Customization tab. There you will find Process Configuration for which you need to provide Read permission. 

Giving permissions according to the error you see will fix the issue, for example if your error showed your were missing prvCreateComplexControl, then you need to provide Create permissions.
More details about security role UI and privilege mapping can be obtained from the Microsoft article.
