java.util.PropertyPermission" "*" "read,write error with executing tests from Test engine

I am using TestEngine to execute ReadyAPI tests. Seeing the below error when TestEngine executes groovyScript which accesses the testrunner.

java.util.PropertyPermission" "*" "read,write

Error. java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.util.PropertyPermission" "*" "read,write")

Same test run from local instance does not throw an error. Any help on what is the resolution for this issue?
