This error typically arises when a user attempts to access or modify project participant data without the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:

  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated to reflect the necessary permissions for project management tasks.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. You can do this by using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) to check the user’s profile.

  Modify Roles:
