  The SAP error message ESH_ADM_MSG064 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to cancel crawls in the SAP Enterprise Search (SAP ESH) environment. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific permissions that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization roles or permissions assigned to the user account attempting to cancel the crawl. In SAP systems, user permissions are managed through roles and authorizations, and if the user does not have the required role that includes the permission to cancel crawls, this error will occur.
  Solution:

  Assign Required Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to cancel crawls. This typically involves assigning a role that includes the authorization object related to the Enterprise Search administration.
  The relevant authorization object is usually S_ES_ADMIN or similar, which controls access to Enterprise Search administration functions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management in your organization. They can review and adjust the roles and authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After the necessary roles have been assigned, ask the user to log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt to cancel the crawl again.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
