  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show you which authorization object failed and why.

  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
  Test the action again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
