  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 insights into what specific authorizations are missing.

  Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions for these objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
