  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the source system or client.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Source System Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code LTRC (for SLT) or the relevant transaction for your scenario.
