  The SAP error message CNV_OR_UTILS103: Authorization check failed typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using SAP's tools for data transfer or conversion, such as the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or other related tools. This error indicates that the user executing the operation does not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required roles or authorizations assigned to perform the specific operation.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The authorization objects required for the transaction or program being executed are not included in the user's profile.
  Role Configuration Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured or may not include the necessary permissions for the data conversion tasks.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check failure. This will show which authorization object failed and why.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.

  Modify Role Authorizations:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the existing roles or create new ones to include the necessary authorization objects.
  Use transaction PFCG to adjust the roles and add the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user has the correct permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt the operation again to see if the issue is resolved.
