Cause
SharePoint uses Role Based permissions.
In SharePoint, access to websites, lists, folders, and list items is controlled through a role-based membership system by which users are assigned to roles that authorize their access to SharePoint objects.
There are four default Role Base Permission groups: 'Full Control', 'Read', Contribute' and 'Limited Access'.
Resolution
Assign the Source Account to the 'Full Control' or 'Contribute' role-based membership.
Note: New logging example of a correct role-based membership
Permissions of User cwlab\SourceAccountName :: Name="Full Control" Type="Administrator"/>
Note: New logging is included in the following versions:
8.1.1 CHF10
8.2 CHF6
8.3 CHF2
9.0
