  The SAP error message FILAM062, which states "You are not authorized to execute the program," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to run a specific program or transaction in the SAP system. This can occur for various reasons, including missing roles, incorrect authorization objects, or restrictions set by the system administrators.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations to execute the program.

  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the program.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security administrator or team. Provide them with the details of the error and the program you are trying to access.
  
  
  
  Check Transaction Codes:
  
  Ensure that the transaction code associated with the program is not restricted for your user group or role.
  
  
  
  Testing in a Different Environment:
  
  If possible, test the same action in a different environment (like a development or quality assurance system) where you might have different authorizations to see if the issue persists.
