  The SAP error message EPIC_PROC_UI022 ("You are not authorized to use this function") typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a specific action or access a particular function within the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to access a transaction, report, or specific functionality in the SAP GUI or Fiori applications.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user role assigned to the user does not include the necessary authorizations for the function they are trying to access.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured or may not include the required transaction codes or authorization objects.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated or may not include the necessary permissions.
  System Configuration: There may be system-wide settings or restrictions that limit access to certain functions.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user by using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.

  Modify Roles:
