How do you "receive" the error?  In your browser display?  In your Apache
logs?  In a ribbon-wrapped parcel on your front doorstep?

There's a decent chance that, yes, the problem is permissions-related.  But
do you understand what a "user permission error" is, how such problems are
caused, etc.?  What have you done yourself thus far to diagnose this
problem?  Do you understand what roles both RANCID and ViewVC play in your
configuration?  Do you know what versions of these tools you're running and
on what operating system/version and from which distributor(s) you received
this software?

Sorry for the barrage of questions, but you've really given us nothing to
work with here.
