      Description

      Following MDL-31138, the error message could be more accurate:

      "Access to the function local_wstemplate_hello_world() is not allowed. Please check if a service containing the function is enabled. In the service settings: if the service is restricted check that the user is listed. Still in the service settings check for IP restriction or if the service requires a capability"

      We should advice to check that the service linked to the token contains the called function. PS: in the case of username/password authentication, no specific service is linked. The current error message is more matching this authentication method.
