This error typically arises when a user attempts to access a transaction or function for which they do not have the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The most common cause of this error is that the user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorizations to perform the action they are trying to execute.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The specific authorization objects required for the transaction may not be assigned to the user’s role.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured to include the necessary permissions for the HR module.

  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the HR functions they are trying to access.
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization objects are missing. This transaction provides a detailed report of the authorization check that failed.
  
  
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles in transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the required authorization objects.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test the transaction again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure which authorization objects are required, consult SAP documentation or your organization’s SAP security team for guidance on the specific functions and the associated authorizations.
