  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object to access the AUFK table. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations assigned to the user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions to read the data from the AUFK table.
  Authorization Object: The specific authorization object related to the AUFK table (e.g., S_TABU_DIS for table access) may not be properly configured.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include access to the AUFK table.
  You can check the roles assigned to the user in the Roles tab of the SU01 transaction.
  
  
  
  Modify Role Authorizations:
  
  If the user is missing the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the role(s) assigned to the user. This can be done using transaction code PFCG.
  Add the required authorization objects (e.g., S_TABU_DIS) with the necessary activity (e.g., 03 for display) to the role.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, ask the user to log out and log back in, then attempt to perform the action again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
