  Ensure that the user has the necessary activity (like 03 for display) for the relevant authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you make changes to roles or authorizations, ensure that these changes are transported to the relevant systems if you are working in a landscape with multiple environments (e.g., Development, Quality Assurance, Production).
  
  
  
  Testing:
