  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the error message and any relevant details from the SU53 report.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects related to the rule and event in question. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's roles or authorizations, have the user attempt the action again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  PFCG: Role Maintenance (for role management)
