  The SAP error message AQ317, which states "You do not have authorization to read the requested data," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access certain data or perform specific actions within the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to access reports, transaction codes, or specific data records.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user role assigned to the individual does not include the necessary authorizations for the specific data or transaction.

  Solutions:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check that failed. This will provide insights into which specific authorization object 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.
