  The SAP error message 1E337 ("You are not authorized for the selected data") typically indicates that a user is attempting to access data or perform an action for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can occur in various SAP modules, including but not limited to SAP ERP, SAP BW, and SAP CRM.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorizations to access the specific data or transaction.

  Missing Authorization Objects: The required authorization objects may not be assigned to the user’s role.
  Role Changes: Recent changes to user roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization objects are missing. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify what is lacking.

  Consult with Security Team: If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team or basis team to review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
  Testing: After making changes, have the user log out and back in, or refresh their session to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
