  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user attempting to access the ABAP Unit Browser lacks the required authorization objects. Specifically, the user needs to have the appropriate developer roles or authorizations assigned to their user profile.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the current authorizations assigned to the user. You can do this by using transaction code SU01 to display the user profile.
  Look for the roles assigned to the user and check if they include the necessary authorizations for ABAP development.

  If the user does not have the necessary roles, you will need to assign them. Common roles that provide developer access include:

  You may need to work with your SAP security team to ensure the user is granted the appropriate roles.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization Objects:

  S_DEVELOP: This object controls access to development tools and transactions.

  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
