  Cause:
  The error occurs because the user attempting to access transaction SU01 lacks the required authorization in their user profile. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  The user has not been assigned the necessary roles or authorizations.
  The user’s role has been modified or removed.
  There may be restrictions in place that prevent the user from accessing certain transactions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Log in to the SAP system with a user that has sufficient privileges (such as a system administrator).
  Use transaction SU01 to check the user’s profile and roles.
  Verify if the user has the necessary authorizations to access transaction SU01.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user does not have the required roles, assign them the appropriate roles that include authorization for transaction SU01.

  Use Transaction SU53:
  
  If the user believes they should have access, they can use transaction SU53 immediately after receiving the error message. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
