  The SAP error message DS053, which states "Authorization groups were added," typically occurs in the context of authorization management within SAP systems. This message indicates that there have been changes to the authorization groups associated with certain objects, which may affect user access and permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Changes in Authorization Groups: The error is triggered when authorization groups are added or modified in the system. This can happen during configuration changes, updates, or when new roles are created.
  User Role Assignments: If a user’s role is linked to an authorization group that has been modified, it may lead to inconsistencies in access rights.

  Review Authorization Groups: Check the authorization groups that have been added or modified. Ensure that they are correctly configured and that the necessary authorizations are assigned to the relevant roles.
  Update User Roles: If user roles are affected, update the roles to include the new authorization groups. This may involve assigning the new authorization groups to the relevant user roles in transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
