  The SAP error message BRAIN802, which states "You do not have the authorization for workbook &1," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a workbook in SAP Business Explorer (BEx) or SAP Business Intelligence (BI) for which they do not have the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations to access the specific workbook.
  Workbook Ownership: The workbook may be owned by another user, and the current user does not have the necessary permissions to view it.
  Role Assignment: The user’s assigned roles may not include the necessary permissions for accessing the workbook.

  Solution:

  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the workbook in question.

  Workbook Settings:
  
  Check the workbook settings to see if there are any restrictions on access. This can include checking the workbook's properties to see if it is set to be accessible only by certain users or roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can provide insights into the authorization setup and make necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
