  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile to access the specified infotype (indicated by &2) for the personnel number (indicated by &1).
  Authorization Object Configuration: The authorization objects related to HR data access may not be properly configured or assigned to the user role.
  Personnel Number Restrictions: The user may be restricted from accessing certain personnel numbers based on their role or organizational structure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects for HR data access, such as P_ORGIN, P_PERNR, and P_HR_INFOTYPE.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the specific infotype and personnel number.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Use transaction PFCG to manage roles and authorization profiles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test access to the infotype again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
