  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization to execute the action associated with the specified event code.

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict access to certain event codes based on user roles or organizational units.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show you which authorization object failed.
  Review the authorization objects related to the event code in question.
  
  
  
  Assign Appropriate Roles:

  Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorization objects for the event code.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or profiles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the event code.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
