  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorizations in their user profile to execute the selection ID specified in the error message.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or selection ID.
  Profile Issues: The user’s authorization profile may not be correctly configured or may have been modified, leading to the loss of required permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Contact Administrator: The error message suggests contacting the system administrator. The administrator can check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  Check User Roles: The administrator should review the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the selection ID in question.
  Authorization Object: Identify the relevant authorization objects associated with the selection ID and ensure that the user has the necessary permissions.

  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Management: Understanding how authorizations work in SAP is crucial. Authorizations are managed through roles and profiles, which define what actions a user can perform within the system.

  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on authorization objects related to HCM and the specific selection IDs being used.
