Resolution

  • To fix the issue, create a New write acl on sys_user table on Notification field for snc_internal role.
  • Once the ACL is created, toggling user preference should not cause any error message.

@AmrL 

ask them to clear instance cache using cache.do and then logout and login

if that doesn't help then raise a case with ServiceNow
