I am trying to create an odata endpoint for a table valued function in sql database. I think my code is fine but some settings issue is causing me get the error :

Server Error in '/' Application.

Security Exception

Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy.  To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.

I cannot figure out the source of the error. The same code in a different project is working and has been tested previously too.

Make the application publish folder Shared with read\write allow for everyone.

This is just because the application tries to write a log while it is not having the proper permission
