  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
