  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user trying to access the specified template. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user does not have the necessary roles assigned that grant access to the template.

  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be correctly configured to include the required authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s authorizations.
  Review the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary permissions for the application and the specific template.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, you may need to assign them. This can be done through transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Identify the roles that include access to the required template and assign them to the user.
  
  
  
  Review Template Authorizations:
  
  Check if there are specific authorizations related to the template that need to be granted. This may involve reviewing authorization objects related to the template access.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify and resolve authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
