  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to display the user profile and check the roles assigned to the user.
  Review the authorizations in the roles to ensure that the necessary permissions for the company code, area, and subarea are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:

  Add the necessary authorization objects that correspond to the required permissions for the specific company code and area.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:

  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SU53 to analyze authorization failures. This transaction shows the last authorization check that failed and can provide insights into what is missing.
