  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorizations for the user attempting to perform the copy operation. This can happen if the user does not have the necessary permissions to access or modify the objects involved in the copying process.

  Missing authorizations for the specific object type (e.g., Web Dynpro components, Fiori elements).

  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorizations are missing. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify the specific missing authorizations.
  Review the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG and ensure that the necessary authorizations for the objects being copied are included.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles and Authorizations:
  
  If you identify missing authorizations, you may need to adjust the roles or create new ones that include the necessary permissions.
  Ensure that the user has access to the transport request and the package where the objects are located.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the authorization issues yourself, consult with your SAP Basis team or security administrator. They can help analyze the authorization logs and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
