  If necessary, add the required authorizations to the role and regenerate the profile.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required permissions.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Test the action again to confirm that the error is resolved.
