'VIEW SERVER STATE permission was denied on object 'server''error message

We had a developer encounter this error when trying to perform a right-click on a table and selecting 'Select top 1000 rows'. SSMS would eventually display the results, but the pop-up error message is annoying.

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

VIEW SERVER STATE permission was denied on object 'server', database 'master'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 300)


I was able to identify the root cause as the version of SSMS being used. In this case, the developer was trying to access SQL 2014 Instance using a SQL 2012 SSMS. The issue has gone away when SQL 2014 SSMS was used.
