  The SAP error message 6X172 indicates that only one user is authorized to perform a specific transaction type. This typically occurs in scenarios where a transaction is restricted to a single user for security or operational reasons.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Restrictions: The system is configured to allow only one user to execute a particular transaction type. This could be due to business rules, security policies, or system configurations.
  User Assignment: The user attempting to execute the transaction is not the one assigned to that transaction type.
  Configuration Settings: The transaction type may have been set up in such a way that it is limited to a single user in the system settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Authorized User: Check the configuration or documentation to identify which user is authorized for the transaction type in question.
  Change User Assignment: If appropriate, you can change the configuration to allow multiple users to access the transaction type. This may involve modifying user roles or authorization objects.
  Contact System Administrator: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change the configuration, contact your SAP system administrator or security team to discuss the issue and request access if needed.
  Review Authorization Roles: Ensure that the user attempting to perform the transaction has the necessary roles and authorizations assigned to them.
