Suddenly my iPhoto can not open the library anymore. It says it does not have the required permissions to the library.
I read many article already, also the official of Apple.
However, nothing helps. Any idea how to fix this?

iLife(iPhoto is part of iLife)does not come with Lion you have to download it separately, make sure it's installed XD
Another option would be to get iPhoto Library Manager:
iPhoto Library Manager allows you to organize your photos among multiple iPhoto libraries, rather than having to store all of your photos in one giant library.
iPhoto Library Manager lets you easily create and keep track of multiple iPhoto libraries, but that's only the beginning. It also has the ability to copy your photos from one library to another, while keeping track of photo metadata that is normally lost when exporting from one library and importing into another.
Titles, dates, descriptions, keywords, ratings, faces, and place information are all transferred along with the photos, ensuring that you keep all that information you spent hours entering into iPhoto. iPhoto Library Manager also reconstructs events and albums with the same photos as they had in the library they came from, as well as retaining both the edited and original copies of each photo. You can split up a large library into multiple smaller libraries, merge entire libraries together into a big one, and much more!

If you know how to use the info pane in Finder, you can select the iPhoto Library and make sure your user has read+write permissions.
An easy way to test this is to connect a USB or other drive and copy the file to that drive and then click on the library to have iPhoto open it. You might also hold the option key to be sure you select the correct copy of the library.
If that works, you can delete the broken library and copy the fixed one back. Also, if you have a backup, you could restore things from when it worked.
