  The SAP error message EEWA_EL099 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to execute a specific transaction on a given object (identified by &1 and &2). This is a common issue in SAP systems, often related to user roles and authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile for the specific transaction or object.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the transaction.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be restrictions on the specific object (e.g., a particular document or record) that the user is trying to access.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured, or the user may not be assigned to the correct organizational units.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Use transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the necessary authorizations for the transaction are included in the role.
  If the role does not have the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object Check:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects that are relevant to the transaction and ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for those objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance. They can help diagnose the issue and make the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test the transaction again.
