  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations using transaction code PFCG. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include access to the relevant business area.
  
  
  
  Modify User 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. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user’s authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
