  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and see if any of them include access to the 57AE report.

  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
