  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorizations to access the CDS view. This could be due to missing roles or specific authorizations related to the CDS view.

  User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct roles that include access to the CDS view.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show you which authorization object failed.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:

  Review CDS View Access Control:
  
  Check the CDS view definition to see if there are any specific access control annotations (like @AccessControl.authorizationCheck) that might restrict access.
  If necessary, modify the access control settings to allow the user or role access to the CDS view.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure the new permissions take effect.
  Test the access again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
