  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see the authorization check results. This will show you which authorization object is missing.

  Ensure that the role includes the necessary activity (e.g., 01 for create).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Test After Changes:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
