This error typically arises when a user attempts to execute a transaction or function that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess.

  Modify Roles:
  
  If the role does not include the necessary authorization, you may need to modify the role to include the P_B2A authorization object. This typically requires access to the role maintenance in SAP.
  Add the required authorization to the role and then assign the updated role to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the error persists.
