contextUserId is missing privilege ae5c41f0-e823-4cb9-b25a-8ef020201973 error in WebAPI

We were getting the below error while using impersonation in our WebAPI

Searching for the privilege id we got the following detail

{“@odata.etag”:”W/\”47875405\””,”overwritetime”:”1900-01-01T00:00:00Z”,”solutionid”:”fd140aad-4df4-11dd-bd17-0019b9312238″,”introducedversion”:”8.2.0.0″,”canbebasic”:false,”canbedeep”:false,”ismanaged”:false,”accessright”:32,”canbeglobal”:true,”privilegeid”:”ae5c41f0-e823-4cb9-b25a-8ef020201973″,”canbeentityreference”:false,”privilegerowid”:”1b218262-afac-4859-b9e0-c8c0f6550231″,”componentstate”:0,”canbelocal”:false,”versionnumber”:47875405,”canbeparententityreference”:false,”name”:”prvActOnBehalfOfAnotherUser“},

So the user was missing the Act On Behalf Of Another User privilege
