  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to make changes does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions to modify Customizing tables.
  Transport Layer Restrictions: If the changes are being made in a transportable environment, there may be restrictions on who can make changes to certain tables.

  Solution:
