  The SAP error message 9J854, which states "You have no authorization for standard variants," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or execute a standard variant in a report or transaction for which they do not have the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to access standard variants. This can happen if the user's role does not include permissions for the specific transaction or report.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The authorization objects related to variant management (like S_PROGRAM, S_USER_AUTH, etc.) may not be assigned to the user's profile.
  Profile or Role Configuration: The user's assigned roles or profiles may not be correctly configured to include access to the standard variants.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.

  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:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test to see if the error persists.
