Cannot convert node type: ${node.type}

Error message

Cannot convert node type: ${node.type}

What it means

Raised in ExecuteNowCommand.validate when security_manager.raise_for_editorship(self._model) throws SupersetSecurityException: the current user does not have permission to change/execute this report schedule. Manual execution is gated on editorship, not merely ownership or can_read.

Solutions

1. Have the schedule owner (or an Admin) execute it, or grant the user edit permission on the schedule.
2. Assign a role with can_update on ReportSchedule (e.g. via Settings > List Roles > ReportSchedule permissions).
3. Transfer ownership of the schedule to the requesting user.

from superset import security_manager
try:
    security_manager.raise_for_editorship(schedule)
    allowed = True
except SupersetSecurityException:
    allowed = False

try:
    ExecuteNowCommand(g.user, schedule_id).run()
except ReportScheduleForbiddenError:
    request_owner_or_admin_to_execute(schedule_id)

When it happens

Trigger: A user without the 'can edit' permission on the report schedule (not creator, not Admin, lacks the relevant RBAC role) calls the Execute now endpoint or UI action. raise_for_editorship enforces owner-or-privileged edit rights before dispatching the Celery task.

Common situations: Shared schedules owned by another user; Gamma/Alpha roles trying to trigger reports they can view but not edit; role changes after the schedule was created; service accounts missing the can_update schedule permission.
