I have created a SharePoint empty project and added visual webpart into it.
When I try to deploy the solution, ended up with below error.
"Error occurred in deployment step "Activate Features" attempted to perform an unauthorized operation"
Reason:
The account which you are trying to deploy the solution may not have permission to specific webapplication/SiteCollection.
Solution:
- Open SharePoint 2013 Central Administration.
- Navigate to Application Management and choose Change site collection administrations
- Select the site collection where deployment should happen
- Add you windows account[Account which you are trying to deploy] as the primary (or) secondary site collection administrator.
Also check account has permission to access database, if not please add into Security section of SQL Server.
Hope this helps!!!
