This error indicates that the user does not have the necessary permissions to execute the requested operation.
  Causes:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations to access the BEx query or InfoProvider.
  Missing Roles: The user might not be assigned the necessary roles that include the required authorizations.
  Incorrect User Mapping: If the user is accessing the system through a different user mapping (e.g., via a web application), the mapping might not have the necessary authorizations.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check failure. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization is missing.

  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_BI_WA, S_BI_CONT, S_BI_QUERY) to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions for the specific BEx queries or InfoProviders.
  
  
  
  User Mapping:

  Consult Basis Team:
