  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.

  Consult with SAP Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Testing:
