  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show you which authorization objects are missing for the user.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for changing authorization-relevant settings.
  You may need to add roles that contain the required authorization objects, such as S_USER_AUTH, S_USER_PRO, or others relevant to HR authorization.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Profiles:
  
  If you have access, you can modify the authorization profiles to include the necessary permissions. This can be done using transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Ensure that the roles are properly configured to allow changes to the relevant settings.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or profiles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
