  The SAP error message FK010, which states "You are not authorized to use this transaction," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to execute the specific transaction code in SAP. This can occur for various reasons, including missing roles, profiles, or specific authorizations assigned to the user.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have the required roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the transaction.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Enter the user ID and check the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include access to the transaction in question.
