  The SAP error message BL037 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display a specific log. This error typically occurs when a user attempts to access logs or information that they do not have permission to view, which is a common security measure in SAP systems.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of the BL037 error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:

  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated or may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or log.
