Hi Adarsha,
As Gowrishankar mentioned, these warnings are due to access control violations. So, you need to run the report - Configuration -->Org and Security -->Tools--> Security..> Access Control Check and fix the necessary violations. Following link provides details on how to do so
There are also when rules which control the display of these warnings. Details can be found here - https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/articles/security/verifying-requests-application-layer
However, would recommend that you fix the warnings rather than suppressing them.

thanks for the reply sudit.
in access control check, i selected all ruleset and all applications. but i'm getting only OOTB rules, nothing related to application rules.
So i'm not getting the way to fix this issue. i tried with all UI kit versions and added all the available roles in access group. but still issue exists.
if you/ anyone can give more details it will be helpful.
Thanks in advance

hi Sudit,
in "pyWorkAttachmentsFeedElement" section, it is calling "pyAttachmentFeedDescription" control for displaying and opening the mails. this control was having some customised code in it. This was causing some issue while opening the mails in the case.
So we replaced this code with UIKit latest version code and this solved our issue.
Thanks.

Hi All,
This "Access Control Warning" is popping up because of the SECU0019 alert. This warning pop-up will no longer appear if you upgrade your application with the latest UIKit or Theme-Cosmos app.
If you cannot upgrade the UI application immediately, you can disable this pop up by updating the "pyShowSecureFeatureWarnings" when rule to return false.
Thanks,
Logan Ram.

We also had this issue in our application after upgrading to 8.5.1. Our architecture includes the Pega Customer Service and Pega Sales automation.
In viewing the logs, there is an error each time that says: “RuleExecutionDenied: Rule-Obj-Activity @BASECLASS pyOnBeforeWindowClose.
The activity pyOnBeforeWindowClose in ruleset PegaCS-Specialization:08-05-01 uses a Privilege on the security tab of the rule called: crmCanCSUserRunActivity. Added this privilege to our access group resolved our issue.

If it's due to some OOB rule which can't be fixed until next upgrade (I had issues with FilterSubmit control). You can close the alert onLoad calling javascript function in a section and include the section in portal header. Just leaving this here, hope it helps somebody.
<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
pega.u.d.closeURLTamperFailures();
});

Hi Kaustav,
I found the same issue which is "Access Control warning" in UI and "Unregistered request encountered" in the security alert log post upgrade to 8.6
I've a solution below for the issue mentioned as it worked for me:
1. Please run the activity "pzSetMenuFlag" and save the application rule after running this activity. This should help with the alerts for pxMenuBarTranslator.
2. After that check in the Clipboard whether this Boolean property "pyMenuFlag" is true or not (This will be under your System Pages -> Application in the Clipboard).
Thanks,
