This error typically arises in the context of SAP Document Management System (DMS) or similar applications where document ownership and access rights are critical.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to check in the DOI does not have the required permissions or roles assigned to perform this action.

  Consult with SAP Security Team:
  
  If the user believes they should have access, consult with the SAP security or basis team to review and adjust the authorization settings as necessary.
