  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  Review Authorization Objects: Identify the specific authorization objects required for the transaction or data access. This can be done by consulting with your SAP security team or by reviewing the documentation for the relevant transaction.
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This typically requires access to transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Testing: After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  Consult Security Team: If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or if you are unsure about the necessary authorizations, consult your SAP security team for assistance.
