This error typically arises when a user attempts to access or manipulate data that they are not authorized to handle.
  
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorization for the specific characteristic or value they are trying to access.
  Authorization Object: The relevant authorization object (e.g., S_COPA) may not be properly configured for the user role.
