  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to insert new hierarchy levels. This may involve checking authorization objects related to the specific module (e.g., authorization objects for hierarchy management).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:

  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific authorization objects related to hierarchy management in the relevant module.
  This can provide insights into which authorizations are required for the action the user is attempting to perform.
  
  
  
  Testing:
