This error typically arises in the context of SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management) when a user attempts to modify product-related data but lacks the necessary permissions.

  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security or basis team. They can help adjust the user’s roles or permissions as needed.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
