This error typically arises in the context of controlling (CO) or project systems (PS) when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when:
  
  The user is trying to access or perform an operation related to a particular indicator (own/external) and activity type, but their user profile does not have the required authorization.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.

  Use transaction PFCG to adjust the roles and add the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
