insufficient_access_on_cross_reference_entity - To resolve this error, you can check accessible rights on any object by describing it as below:
Schema.DescribeSObjectResult accountDescribe = Account.sObjectType.getDescribe();
System.debug('accessible:' + accountDescribe.accessible);If it is not accessible then, you can show a proper message to the user.
