    Access refused.

    How to fix this error?

    For most Workbench objects, the system uses the authorization object
    S_DEVELOP, but your user master record contains no authorization which
    matches the desired processing mode, object name, object type and
    development class. In the case of program objects, the authorization
    group is also checked.
    Ask your system administrator to give you the authorization, possibly
    restricted to a particular development class and/or particular
    programs.
