  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include authorization for the specific plant.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization objects are missing. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations need to be granted.
