  The SAP error message 3796 indicates that the selected data is incomplete due to missing authorization. This typically occurs when a user attempts to access or manipulate data for which they do not have the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations to access certain data or perform specific actions in the SAP system.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the transaction or data being accessed.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be restrictions on specific authorization objects that the user does not meet.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the authorization logs to determine which authorizations are lacking.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include the necessary authorizations for the transaction or data being accessed.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user is missing the required authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create new roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Work with your SAP security team to ensure that the roles are properly configured.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the user can now access the required data.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that pertain to the transaction or data being accessed. This can help in understanding what specific permissions are needed.
  SAP Security Best Practices: Regularly review and audit user roles and authorizations to ensure compliance and minimize the risk of authorization issues.
