  The SAP error message CUSTOMER_DOWNTIME000 Not authorized typically indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action or access a transaction for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can occur in various contexts within SAP, such as during system maintenance, downtime activities, or when accessing specific functionalities.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required roles or authorizations assigned to their user profile.

  This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are required.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:

  Add the necessary authorization objects to the relevant roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
