  Cause
  The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the required authorization to access or perform the action on the specified object. This could be due to:

  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the user has the role but still encounters the error, check the specific authorization object and its field values. Ensure that the user meets all the criteria defined in the authorization object.
