This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Customer Management System (CMS) or similar modules where user permissions are critical for executing certain functions.
  Cause:

  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the specific transaction or report.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CMS_ARC054 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the necessary roles that include the required authorizations for running the blocking/unblocking report are assigned.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary roles are not assigned, you may need to assign them. If they are assigned but still not working, you may need to modify the roles.
