  Review Role Categories: Ensure that the role categories are correctly defined and that the roles assigned to the user match the required categories for the transaction.

  Use Transaction PFCG: Use transaction code PFCG to review and modify the roles. Check the role's authorizations and ensure they are correctly configured.
  Testing: After making changes, test the user’s access to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
