  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, access to various functions and data is controlled through authorization objects. If a user attempts to perform an action (like uploading subaccounts) without the required permissions, the system will generate this error message.

  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:

  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user's roles using transaction code PFCG. Add the required authorization objects to the user's role.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Attempt the upload of subaccounts again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
