  Solution:
  To resolve the IBAUTH002 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  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.
