Required Permissions 

To use Data 360 parameters for Consent API, you must have either the ModifyAllData or the ConsentApiUpdate user permission. Requiring a perm ensures that the Salesforce admin gives explicit permission. These parameters write org-wide consent data, such as links between records and the value of consent flags, which are usually inaccessible to non-admin users.
