  The SAP error message CX621, which states "You are not authorized to activate the link to database table &," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action of activating a link to a database table in the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with database views, table links, or other database-related objects.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorizations in their role/profile to activate the link to the specified database table.
  Missing Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary permissions for database operations.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed.
  Review the authorization objects related to database access, such as S_TABU_DIS (Table Maintenance) and S_TABU_CLI (Client-Specific Table Access).

  Review Table/Database Settings:
  
  Check if there are any specific settings or restrictions on the database table that might be causing the issue.

  Consult Documentation:
