  The SAP error message 3G827 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to read payroll results. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) when a user attempts to access payroll data without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user lacks the necessary authorization objects that allow them to view payroll results. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role does not include the required authorization objects for payroll data access.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes payroll access.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: The user may have restrictions based on organizational levels that prevent them from accessing certain payroll data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).

  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction SU53:
  
  After encountering the error, use transaction SU53 to display the last authorization check. This will show which authorization objects were missing and help identify what needs to be adjusted.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. They can review and modify the user’s roles and authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
