  Review User Roles:

  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or profiles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details from the SU53 report to expedite the resolution.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:

  Related Information:
