  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  This transaction will show you the last authorization check and help identify what is lacking.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:

  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for DMEE.

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the error message and the results from SU53 to assist in troubleshooting.
